BREAKING: The full Fifth Circuit decided that it will be rehearing the case over West Texas A&M's effort to ban a charity drag show from campus. The panel, on a 2-1 vote, sided with the student group.
The Fifth Circuit decided to go en banc even after the school didn't seek en banc review.

The Fifth Circuit decided to do it. Not the chief judge, not Kacsmaryk, not West Texas A&M.
We don't know who sought a vote, but a Fifth Circuit judge did, and a majority of those voting voted yes.

won't the performers have a lot of spare time on their hands? That time could be spent committing crimes.
