By The Associated Press 08.16.06
PHILADELPHIA — A federal appeals court yesterday struck down a Pennsylvania law on "lewd" behavior at liquor establishments, agreeing with two exotic dancers that the law is too broad and infringes on free speech.
The Pennsylvania Liquor Code statute punishes "a significant amount of protected speech," such as legitimate performances in theaters or comedy clubs where liquor is sold, a unanimous three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled yesterday.
"As for what expression falls within the prohibition on 'lewd entertainment,' we, like the plaintiffs, find this to be a difficult question to answer," Judge Julio M. Fuentes wrote in Conchatta Inc. v. Miller.
