Supreme Court weighs nude dancing ban arguments
The Supreme Court heard appeals from Indiana seeking a blanket ban on public nudity including barroom style nude dancing, while dancers and club owners argued the state cannot suppress performances not legally obscene. Justices questioned whether such bans extend beyond barrooms to plays and opera, with a 1981 ruling recognizing First Amendment protections for nude dancing but not defining scope. The ruling, due by July, could clarify protections and limits.
