We got a little news we're gonna cover Before we get down to also last night, the fucking, uh, Dolly's set from Glastonbury.

Judge strikes down a Texas ban on drag shows, tells people offended, "Just don't go." Federal judge cited Dolly Parton in his ruling, found that the state law violated the First Amendment.

Republicans do not believe in freedom, especially Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, running for Senate.

Said the measure known as Texas Senate Bill 12 improperly restricted speech, violating the First Amendment of the Constitution.

The ruling prevents State Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is running for Senate, from enforcing the law and denies his motion for a new trial.

In the ruling, Hittner also had advice for those who find such activities as described in the case offensive.

Paxton's office did not immediately reply to a request for comment on Tuesday night.

The state law would fine business owners who were found to be in violation up to 10 grand for hosting events, while performers could be charged with a Class A misdemeanor, which could result in an up to one year, uh, which could result in up to one year of jail time.

The statute, which has been the source of a years-long legal battle, made its way to Hittner's courtroom before.

Hittner first deemed it unconstitutional and a violation of the First Amendment in 2023.

But the Fifth US Circuit Court of Appeals returned it to him in November, lifting a pause on the law and giving him specific instructions about how to reassess it.

Texas is among a handful of states that have passed legislation to restrict drag shows.

Uh, Hittner struck down the law Tuesday after having followed the framework the higher court asked him to follow.

In his ruling, Hittner mentioned Dolly Parton, whose death was announced on Tuesday, and criticized the law's definition of banning performer- uh, performances that appeal to pursuant interest.
