So you want to take away my right to representation on making laws for public decency. You are promoting dictatorship then.

Who is going to decide what decency is at the state or federal level?

Laws like that have always been locally determined and some come and go as time change. In some localities, in the past, women had to dress in a certain manner or were considered to be lewd.

Public decency laws should never be in the hands of the state or federal government. The state and federal entities always take every advantage to extend and interpret these laws in order to dicate (dictatorship) how they will be applied.

if the Moslems in Dearborn, Michigan pass a law that says that no woman can drive a car in the city, or walk the street unless dressed in a burka, would that be constitutional?
