Supreme Court Allows States to Shut Nude Bars
The Supreme Court in a 6 3 decision held states may suspend or revoke liquor licenses for bars featuring nude dancing and other acts deemed detrimental to public morals. Justice Rehnquist wrote that First Amendment freedoms do not extend to gross sexuality in public and supported California regulations as a valid public welfare measure. The ruling reverses a 1971 federal court ruling that required proof of obscenity, signaling broad state control over liquor licenses amid concerns about crime near nightlife venues.
