How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • noting that the municipal ordinance that nearly completely banned signs posted on private property, almost “foreclosed a venerable means of communication”; the signs at issue, however, were not directed to a captive audience
  • discussing the two analyses for challenging a municipal ordinance regulating signs on private property
  • noting a “special respect for individual liberty in the home has long been part of our culture and our law; that principle has special resonance when the government seeks to constrain a person’s ability to speak there” (emphasis in original and citations omitted)
