Oregon obscenity ruling clears way for live sex shows

SALEM, Ore. - The Oregon Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional Thursday a state law against conducting live sex shows and a local ordinance regulating conduct of nude dancers.

Both restrictions violate the Oregon Constitution's guarantees of free speech and free expression, the court said in a pair of 5-1 decisions.

The rulings continued the court's modern pattern of broadly interpreting the constitutional rights as forbidding virtually all regulation of obscenity.

The constitution, adopted in 1859 says, "No law shall be passed restraining the free expression of opinion, or restricting the right to speak, write or print freely on any subject whatever."
