Here’s the meat:
Held: The Sign Code’s provisions are content-based regulations of speech that do not survive strict scrutiny.
(a) Because content-based laws target speech based on its communicative content, they are presumptively unconstitutional and may be justified only if the government proves that they are narrowly tailored to serve compelling state interests.
(b) The Sign Code is content based on its face.
(c) None of the Ninth Circuit’s theories for its contrary holding is persuasive.
As long as the 9th is still being overturned regularly, there is still hope for the country. Time to pray that Ginsberg stays on the SC long enough for Pres Cruz to appoint the successor.
