Yes your right on the name of the case..dang autocorrect.

Did you read the ordnance in which the Supreme Court ruled on? Here I'll copy and paste it.

First, "ideological signs", which contained "a message or ideas for noncommercial purposes", could be up to twenty square feet in size and could be placed in any "zoning district" for any length of time.[16] Second, "political signs", which included content "designed to influence the outcome of an election called by a public body", could be no larger than thirty two square feet on nonresidential property and sixteen square feet on residential property.[17] Additionally, political signs could only be displayed "up to 60 days before a primary election and up to 15 days following a general election".[18] Third, “temporary directional signs relating to a qualifying event", which directed "pedestrians, motorists, and other passersby" to events hosted by non-profit organizations, could be no larger than six square feet.[19] Additionally, temporary directional signs relating to a qualifying event could be displayed no earlier than twelve hours before the start of a qualifying event and no later than one hour after the end of the event; these signs could only be displayed in private property or public rights-of-way, but no more than four signs could be placed on a single property at the same time.[20]

That 2nd provision in which was overturned......by the Supreme Court.......looks really familiar.

The reason why this case was important and I referenced was that it overturned the provisions on size and time period on any sign which "are designed to influence the outcome of an election".

Wait I know what your going to say , the Church sued because of the 3rd provision, and you would be correct. However the case involved the whole Ordnance. The Court ruled on the whole Ordnance. They ruled against it.

The reason I brought up City of Ladue v Gilleo, was that the city can not make ordnances to ban signs based on time , place and manner. (Sound familiar)

If you would like to discuss this I live at 144 Essex Rd or we could keep hashing this out here.
