Texas Judge Rules On Strip Club Dress Code With Plenty Of Innuendo

In the time-honored legal tradition of punny, snarky, and sassy judicial rulings, a federal judge in Texas has shown us once and for all what a law school degree will allow you to accomplish. U.S. District Judge Fred Biery issued a ruling on April 29 bursting with double entendres in a case involving San Antonio strip clubs. The ruling titillated readers and aroused their interest, but ultimately left the strip clubs unsatisfied.

A city ordinance in San Antonio requires exotic dancers to wear bikini tops, rather than just pasties, to cover their nipples. Strip clubs requested a preliminary injunction to block enforcement so they could keep having their wild nights without facing the consequences.

The judge called the case The Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Bikini Top V. the (More) Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Pastie, and said that the issue had “once again fallen into the court’s lap.” In Judge Biery’s words, “Plaintiffs clothe themselves in the First Amendment seeking to provide cover against another alleged naked grab of unconstitutional power.”
