Kaelan Deese is a Supreme Court reporter for the Washington Examiner covering the latest happenings at the nation's highest court and the legal issues surrounding Second Amendment rights, abortion, and religious liberties. He previously wrote breaking news as a fellow for the Hill during the 2020 election cycle.

Gov. Ron DeSantis wants the Supreme Court to unfreeze a law that penalizes businesses and venues if they permit minors to witness"lewd" events such as adult drag shows.

“Hamburger Mary’s has not alleged, much less proven, that application of the Protection of Children Act to others in the State of Florida will cause actual or imminent injury to Hamburger Mary’s itself. It was a serious error for the district court nonetheless to enjoin the statute as it may apply to the rest of the world,” the state wrote in court filings.

Florida is just one of several Republican-led states to pass a law tailored to drag performances, though the language of the measure does not specifically mention such shows. Similar laws passed in states including Texas, Tennessee, and Montana have suffered from legal pitfalls.
