The wildly-successful lawyers, aided by Morrison & Forrester, who, as a highly effective team, shut down the preposterous “no men in skirts dancing in public” laws in Tennessee (locally out of the federal trial court in Memphis) — appropriately filed last week — to recover the over $420,000 in legal fees and expenses it took to bring Gov. Bill Lee to heel, there.
I note it as the Pride Parades kick off around the nation at noon today. And I especially note the parade (which is renewed this weekend) in Franklin, TN — the one that was the genesis of this dispute, and the patently unconstitutional “law” Gov. Lee signed.
Here is the petition (fixed the link; bad typo at first) which will mean the state’s taxpayers to have to pay around $420,000, for about 60 days’ work — since Gov. Lee would not admit that in Franklin, back in 1977 state’s taxpayers to have to pay around $420,000, for about 60 days’ work — since Gov. Lee would not admit that in Franklin, back in 1977 — he himself would have been putatively in violation of that silly “law” — at the mid-field of the public high school football field at Homecoming. It will be a winner — the law is crystal clear that this was a patent violation of the first amendment.
So it goes. “We, the People” are free people. And. . . if you don’t like how we dance (or the make-up and sequins) — feel free to walk away, or avert your gaze.
End of story. Grinning. . . .
