A Washington state ordinance barring scantily clad servers doesn't violate the First Amendment, a federal appeals court ruled.

"Bikini baristas" will remain banned in Washington State, according to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld two city ordinances barring servers from serving coffee while wearing swimsuits or pasties.

In 2017, Everett, Washington passed two ordinances: One expanded the lewd conduct law, the other established a dress code at"quick-serve" restaurants like coffee stands and food trucks. The code requires employees to cover their torso, upper legs, buttocks and pubic areas. After the laws were passed, the owner and five baristas at Hillbilly Hotties, a drive-through coffee chain, sued the city, claiming that the new ordinances violated their rights to free expression.

They also argued that the lewd-conduct law was constitutionally vague, and that phrases like the"bottom one-half of the anal cleft" were"not well-defined or reasonably understandable."However, Circuit Judge Morgan Christen did not: She wrote that context made it clear what was being described in the lewd-conduct law, and that the dress-code ordinance did not violate the First Amendment.

I favor things as they are now(the servers only) . BUT, this has NOTHING to do with ANY amendment .

'Pasty pastry' was taken? Oooh!! That's good.🤔

Cause America's number one enemy is tits, I feel safer now.

Drink?

And just look who is getting his deibk?

Men need to stfu and stop telling women what to wear and what to do with their bodies.

Then they wouldn’t be “bikini” baristas!!!!

Total BS... If you don't like it don't give them your money. Simple, no need to control everyone 24/7

TWEET WRITERTHIS IS A RE-TWEET ?

OH I'M SORRY MY BAD I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA

No, they don't.

Lack of clothing is a violation of federal food safety regulations!

They're worried about that instead of the emperor's (realDonaldTrump) new (no) clothes? Give them a break. At least they know what they're doing at their jobs.

Are males selling drinks while wearing thongs too?

It ain't sanitary either. Do you have any idea how much waste is excreted through the pores of your skin? This is not a great idea.

'Burkini baristas' on their way.

NO!

Nah, bro.

I'm feeling old

This needs to go to SCOTUS. 'Devil's Triangle' Kavanaugh would disagree.

Why then Hooters ppl should wear more clothes too , bsides I personally just wouldn't go where I don't want exposed breasts in my face when I'm eating not appetizing

Look forward to seeing hot studs in thongs serve coffee. Some day. Like never. Shame.

Well, there’s a clickbait headline and photo...

Who cares? This just shows how we are still governed by a Calvinistic social aesthetic brought by Puritans. Kids are allowed to watch people getting blown up on TV but a Nude body is a sin-in 2019? Complete hypocrisy & idiotic

Democracy

The US is a free country..

Can you say -- Prudes? If you don't like what they're wearing -- Don't go there!

Mmmm, no. Don’t be scared, men. Actually yes, be scared.

Does this apply to FLOTUS?

No, they’re just fine!

Liberals are the new puritans.

This from leftists who ruin everything

But it's okay for POTUS to rape women.

Actually, that's my fave barfly outfit 3

Nonsense.

That's a bikini? I guess I need to start going to the beach more often.

If they wear more clothing than they're just baristas, yeah?

because America has freedumb and men think telling women what to wear is okay... yay 4th of jewlie

adrianachechik she certainly looks like you Adriana

here comes sharia law and burkas

It’s too dangerous?

I would be embarrassed if my daughter worked at places like this 🤦🏽‍♂️ , that’s how they end of pregnant at a young age .

Wtf?

Burkini barristas instead? 🤔 Is that wokest?

Bah!

Agreed. They are hookers. Go back to the T and A club and earn your dollar bills.

Father’s cousin had a food van, not far down the road 2 skimpy clad bikinis young females park their food van. Guess which food van had a long line of men? With their eyeballs bulging and mouth drooling saliva! Buy food and complimentary free visual to fantasies!🙄

Fat cat women just want to ruin all the beautiful things in the world.

Certainly would get a lot of tips!..and yes I said tips!

not fair

Damn you can’t do nothing no more

Prudes!

And don't ask for milk...

Well reasoned opinion, though it makes you wonder what the fuck is wrong with people who feel the compulsion to masturbate is too strong!

The appeals court needs to go somewhere. lol
