This is a good story relating to a lot of what we're talking about in class about the judiciary branch. The case is called Reed v. Gilbert. In the town of Gilbert, Arizona that city authorities passed laws as to the posting of signs and depending on what the sign was for determined it's size, allowed content, and duration. The Good News Community Church is appealing the law because of they say it discriminates against their religions signs and places restrictions that are unconstitutional. The signs were deemed as event signs and received harsher treatments. Obama has backed up the Church and on of his supreme court lawyer's says its unconstitutional because it favors one speech over another. The other argument says it is constitutional because the restriction isn't just placed on the one church but equally to everything. 
Is it fair cause it effects everyone equally or is it unfair because the church should be able to to post whatever they want where ever they want for how long they want? 
With the information I read I am leaning more towards the church's appeal. It's a lot about the freedom of speech and freedom of religion and their right to be treated equally as a religion along with other religions. The law enacted in Gilbert seems kind of over doing it. There are restrictions on sign posting and where they can be but there shouldn't be a restriction on what they say.
