BOYLE, Justice,
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent from the opinion of the Court and cannot agree that Pocatello City Ordinance § 9.16.070 is facially unconstitutional and incapable of any valid application. Although the ordinance may arguably be inapplicable under the present facts and circumstances I cannot join the majority opinion which invalidates it in every application. I would adopt the same interpretation as the Wisconsin Supreme Court in City of Milwaukee v. Nelson, 439 N.W.2d 562 (Wis.1989), and hold that the ordinance is not facially unconstitutional for all purposes. Likewise, the ordinance is not unconstitutional on a void for facial vagueness/due process analysis and is distinguishable from the California statute in Kolender v. Lawson, 461 U.S. 352, 103 S.Ct. 1855, 75 L.Ed.2d 903 (1983). Accordingly, I respectfully dissent.
