United States Supreme Court

In a church's challenge to a town's code regulating signs, which prohibits the display of outdoor signs without a permit, but exempts certain categories of signs, the Ninth Circuit's judgment, that the code's sign categories were content neutral and that the code satisfied the intermediate scrutiny afforded to content-neutral regulations of speech, is reversed where the sign code's provisions are content-based regulations of speech that do not survive strict scrutiny.
