I understand totally, Greg! We came from the generation where you would have been mortified if someone HAD seen your underwear. ("I see London, I see France, I see someone's underpants!")

I'm guessing that judge wanted the saggy-pants voters in his corner at the next election.
Is there some First Amendment protection here, seeing as how the person is "expressing" something, fashion-wise? The next thing you know, they will be outlawing nipple-piercing and bad hats.
Which reminds me of that movie Fear of a Black Hat. Now there is a funny movie.

Some judges see rights in the constitution that are not mentioned at all, like baggy pants, yet fail to see rights that are explicitly mentioned, such as the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Oftentimes, it is the same judge!
Non-lawyers must be truly amazed and impressed by the adeptness of some judicial minds. Fortunately, it all makes sense to us legal beagles, right?
I've threatened for years to show up at the swimming pool in a pair of Speedos if my kids didn't work a little harder at practice...not a pretty sight...no fabric sagging there...now that would have been a violation...the threat worked pretty well...

That would be bare arms, not bare bottoms. Or was that the right to arm bears....? I'm so confused when it comes to the Constitution. I read it over and over and still don't see half the junk the Supremes see (or imagine they see). Must one be intoxicated or lobotomized to interpret it correctly? Isn't a penumbra that thing the bartender sticks in a frozen daquiri?
That movie was awesome. I loved the scene with Tasty Taste showing off his weapons collection.
Tasty Taste: This is a bazooka, see? And you just pick this up like this. It's-it's-it's-it's kind of heavy. But I figured if I couldn't pick it up, I need to have it. Nina Blackburn: Why would you need a bazooka? Tasty Taste: Well, sometimes you gotta take out stuff like a bus or a building, or a *bunch* of m_f_kas.
