The Florida law that limits drag shows in the state will remain blocked, the Supreme Court said Thursday, dealing a blow to a key initiative championed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Florida had asked the high court to narrow a lower court’s injunction that stopped the law from being enforced statewide. The justices declined to do so.

Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch said they would have allowed the law to take effect.

    She’s a religious nut, but she seems to be a relatively intelligent religious nut with enough of an understanding of the constitution to know this shit doesn’t pass muster.

    Doesn’t mean she won’t uphold future bullshit laws that are less vague.

    We live in the dumbest time-line.
