Maxim Cabaret, Inc. D/b/a Maxim Cabaret v. City of Sandy Springs, Georgia. — Peterson, J., Concurring

Summary

Justice Peterson concurred fully in the Court's decision rejecting Maxim's federal and state free-speech claims. The concurrence agreed that the federal claim failed and that Maxim had offered no reason for interpreting the Georgia Constitution more broadly, but questioned the historical and textual foundation of Georgia precedent protecting nude dancing. It urged the Court to reconsider that precedent in an appropriate future case using the Georgia Constitution's language, history, and context.
