It’s the fifth circuit. My guess is that they just saw that it had something to do with sex work, one of the judges bellowed “PORNO BAD” and they all collapsed into a fit of angry jabbering like a crowd of townies in a South Park cartoon, and all these coherent legal words came out of some clerk who had to fix up the language later on new pages that weren’t flecked with anger-spittle. What the laws say and what makes sense are mostly irrelevant to the fifth circuit.
