Circuit Judge Ruling – Denies SOBS Constitutional Equal Protection!

The Judge stated, on April 27, that, “Further, there is a rational basis for the City of Lincoln Park to enforce its ordinance against Bada Bing! employees and independent contractors and not against employees and independent contractors at the Hustler Club,” Jackson wrote in his decision that was just recently released.

If you own a Club that does not have a liquor license, then all your employees including independent contractors are required to get a background check, register, verify ID and obtain a license, according to Judge Thomas Jackson. NO Liquor License means that yes, a SOB Employee/IC background check, license and ID (Is required).

However, If you own a Club that has a liquor license, your employees including independent contractors do not need or is required to have any background check, licensing, registration or ID verification, according to Judge Thomas Jackson.  Having the Liquor License means that no, a SOB Employee/IC background check, license or ID (Is not required).  Let me repeat that again!

1.    NO Liquor License means that yes, a SOB Employee/IC background check, license and ID (Is required).

2.    Having the Liquor License means that no, a SOB Employee/IC background check, license or ID (Is not required).

No matter how many times I have read this, wrote it or repeated it to myself and/or others, we still cannot make any sense out of this ruling without thinking about the consequences or its negative impact as a legal precedent.
