Put on your dancing feets

This kills me. The NY Supreme Court upheld that ridiculous 80 year old law, barring patrons from dancing in bars and restaurants that don't have a special permit. Jeeeeez. What the Fuck?
The law made its appearance in the time of Prohibition (another genius idea) to prevent the proliferation of speakeasies. We can safely say that the times have changed, no?

No smoke, no lard, no dance; what's next? This is becoming a fascist state, this city.

"Recreational dancing is not a form of expression protected by the federal or state constitutions," the court wrote.

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, THE COURT IS AN ASSHOLE. RECREATIONAL DANCING IS A FORM OF SELF-EXPRESSION, IS IT NOT? AND THUS SHOULD BE PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION. (APPLAUSE) I REST MY CASE. (Allow me to indulge my fantasy of being Clarence Darrow for a day).

City lawyer Norman Corenthal welcomed the court's decision, saying it upheld the city's right to enforce laws that protect residential areas from noise, congestion and safety hazards.

BULLSHIT. THEY JUST LOVE TO EXERCISE ORWELLIAN CONTROL OVER ALL OF US.

The plaintiffs claimed that in the 1960s, about 1,000 places legally allowed patrons to dance, but fewer than 300 such places exist now. They also had challenged the city's application of zoning laws, arguing it was arbitrary and capricious.

Norman Siegel, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said he was considering an appeal.

CONSIDERING? You should be moonwalking up the steps of the Supreme Court in Washington, or something, Norm. Don't just stand there, do something!

So in the meantime, I suggest we engage in a campaign of civil disobedience and shake our collective booties in protest.
