Judge CITES Dolly Parton as He PERMANENTLY STRIKES DOWN Texas Drag Ban!!!

The Democratic Socialists of America and Donald Trump posted tributes to Dolly Parton on the same day — and a Reagan-appointed federal judge cited her by name while permanently striking down Texas's drag show ban as unconstitutional. Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson walks through Judge David Hittner's ruling, the First Amendment overbreadth doctrine that got Texas's law thrown out, and the decades of quiet allyship — from funding Black high school marching bands to investing her Whitney Houston royalties back into a historically Black Nashville neighborhood — that made a country legend someone the far left and a Republican president could both agree to mourn.
