But the majority of challenges to public nudity laws have failed in all but one instance, which the State of New Hampshire notes, “involved reviewing a preliminary injunction, not the merits of the law.” S0, they’d like The Supremes to pass on this one.
The [Supreme] court asked the state to respond in September. In its filing this week, the state said there has been no meaningful disagreement. Nearly every state high court and federal appeals court has upheld similar ordinances, it said. … The conflict the women identify is therefore “illusory,” the state said, and the court need not “wade into areas better left for the policy making of local legislative bodies.”
Despite Democrat majorities, I was unable to identify any new legislative proposals to allow bare-breasted women on the state’s public beaches. Raising taxes, punishing free speech, and prohibiting useful everyday items like bags and drinking straws are critical priorities for the Left but not freed nipples. So, this is not an issue the state feels need ‘undressing.’
The New Hampshire women have two weeks to respond according to the report.
