Scripps News spoke to a political analyst to gain insights into a federal judge's ruling declaring Tennessee's 'drag ban' unconstitutional.
A federal judge overturned a new law that restricts drag performances in Tennessee, banning them in public spaces or in places in front of minors.
According to the ruling, the Adult Entertainment Act is not written to protect minors while also noting the state’s existing laws have the power to"punish most, and possibly all, of the conduct" the act seeks to regulate. "Bad legislation is bad legislation. This was a Trump-appointed judge. It was simply a matter of the fact that this was a poorly written, bad piece of legislation that frankly had some bad things underneath it in terms of the reasoning," Wright said.
