The U.S. Supreme Court has declined the state of Florida’s application to partially block a lower court ruling that prevents Florida from enforcing a new state law barring minors from attending live drag shows.

Though the court denied the application on Nov. 16, three justices – Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch – expressed support for the application, which involves a First Amendment lawsuit filed by an Orlando restaurant, Hamburger Mary’s, which regularly staged live drag shows.

A statement issued by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, which was joined by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, noted that the case focused on First Amendment overreach and thus had its own distinct legal complexities.
