Laws Change in PA!

In a federal court this past August a Judge ruled that the term "lewdness and immoral activity" (when pertaining to restrictions in adult clubs) was so broad that it violated the 1st Amendment. As a law will declared unconstitutional if it's sweep is too broad and threatens to ensnare within it's reach constitutionally protected activity or otherwise legitimate conduct.

The hearings were involving Go-Go clubs, Or adult clubs that serve alcohol and have female dancers. After the hearing, all Go-Go Clubs in PA that server alcohol ( Cabaret, In-between Lounge in our general area) No longer have to have the female dancers were "pasties" or nipple covers. These places can now be topless. Cases like this are happening all over. And over and over again clubs are winning in these cases. Daniel A.Silver, Esq. a first Amendment lawyer in PA and NJ, says the next step is clubs going to court to be able to have dancers fully nude and server alcohol. It seems in PA that the courts are finding in Adult Clubs favor more and more.

The PA Constitution is very heavy on protecting 1st Amendment rights, which covers Nude dancing as a freedom of expression.

Seems that the courts know that local law groups try to close these places by manipulation local laws. Good to see that they are winning in the big courts.

How much did the fund raiser raise? I was hoping for an update here. Is it on the club's website?

Um..no It was not postponed. I was there...it was actually a lot of fun, the bands were good, and I know the club donated most of the cover to the family as well as the donations from customers. I think they did pretty well.
