"Lewd" but not "sufficently communicative"


Mixed messages from the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals

Here's another one of those very strange rulings.

The lady's dancing is "lewd" according to the town council.

But it "is not conduct which is sufficiently communicative to bring it within the protection of the First Amendment."

Anyone else spot the double standard here?

Hat tip to Wren's Nest.
