You have links for that?
Because I have a mask that says Fuck Trump and it has a picture of an extended middle finger that I wear when I'm out and about and it's perfectly legal, even among children.

I think you're wrong about towns winning the legal fight, HoA's? not so sure.

This is clearly protected political speech and the town is going to lose badly if they decide to pursue it in the courts.

If she chooses to fight this and work it up through the courts, some group out there will take up In It to Win It Jun 2021 #28

One such group has a name: the American Civil Liberties Union. mahatmakanejeeves Jun 2021 #79

She is going to lose. Demsrule86 Jun 2021 #68

Sounds like she just needs to take the Biden signs down jimfields33 Jun 2021 #2

She'll win. mahatmakanejeeves Jun 2021 #3

Yes, she will. The Supreme Court has already ruled on this. rsdsharp Jun 2021 #5

I guess I'm just an old fashioned liberal ripcord Jun 2021 #89

You're right, and yet here we are once again at DU, with people just not understanding what mahatmakanejeeves Jun 2021 #91

Which is what the Court ruled. In 1971. rsdsharp Jun 2021 #92

municipalities all over the country have code restrictions regarding signs iemanja Jun 2021 #111

They have code restrictions on the size of signs, but they can't regulate MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2021 #114

Do you have a citation? Those restrictions deal with size and height. rsdsharp Jun 2021 #120

You may be right. Chainfire Jun 2021 #6

Build up the fines and then put a lien on her house. ZonkerHarris Jun 2021 #14

Are you kidding me? She should lose her home over some objectional signs? totodeinhere Jun 2021 #17

The important thing is to merely reference them as a vague demographic... LanternWaste Jun 2021 #77

No. The lien is how you get her to pay the fines and remove the signs. ZonkerHarris Jun 2021 #56

The town is going to lose badly and she will not pay one cent on those fines, MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2021 #57

A lien is a first step towards repossessing the house. totodeinhere Jun 2021 #129

Yeah, that's not going to happen, MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2021 #27

As much as I disagree with this women's sentiments about President Biden, totodeinhere Jun 2021 #15

Going broke just to own the libs. Initech Jun 2021 #31

How do you figure that she is going to go broke just to own the libs? MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2021 #32
