Restrictions In Hodgkiss

Gilbert has a code that prohibits displaying outdoor signs without a permit, but 23 categories of signs are exempt. The signs that are exempt are restricted to certain sizes and times that they can be displayed. Petitioners, Good News Community Church Clyde Reed, pastor, posted signs bearing the name of the church and locations and times of services early morning on a Saturday and did not remove them until midday the following Sunday. The church was cited for exceeding time limits of displaying directional signs and for leaving out the dates of the events. Petitioners filed suit, arguing freedom of speech, but their motion was denied – the court declared that the code’s

In Walker III v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans (2015), attorney Scott Keller argues on behalf of the petitioner—Walker III (Walker)—and attorney Roger George represents the respondent—Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV). The case concerns the constitutionality of a decision made by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles Board (the DMV Board) to reject the specialty license plate designs submitted by SCV and its members, and addresses possible violations of the First and Fourteenth Amendment. Four contentions surround the issue: the form of speech embodied by the specialty license plate program; State control over the content of specialty license plates; specialty license plates as a limited public forum; and, ultimately, the potential violation of the First Amendment’s Free Speech Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of “viewpoint neutrality.” Justice Breyer delivers the opinion of the Court, affirming the plates as government speech. However, Justice Alito, joined by the Chief Justice, Justice Scalia, and Justice Kennedy, Justice Alito dissents, concerned with. the Court’s broad interpretation of government speech.

Facts: Plaintiffs Carl and Elaine Miles, owners and impresarios of “Blackie, The Talking Cat” brought a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the S.D. Georgia, challenging the constitutionality of the Augusta, GA, Business License Ordinance. They complained that the ordinance was inapplicable in their case “accepting contributions from pedestrian in the downtown Augusta area, who wanted to hear the cat speak “and that the ordinance violates the rights of speech. The Plaintiffs attacked the ordinance as being unconstitutional and overbroad in contravention of the due process clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment.

In “from Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District” by Justice Abe Fortas, the Supreme Court creates a strong argument against the disruption of the black armbands. When discussing this argument the author uses a strong expression of logical evidence and a great variety of diction. In “Supreme Court Landmark Series: Tinker v. Des Moines,” an interview with law professor Catherine Ross, more empirical evidence is presented and the wide range of diction and syntax is not presented as advanced as it was in the first article.

The majority’s argument primarily focused on the Court’s 2009 decision of Pleasant Grove City v Summum. This case presented a First Amendment question which the U. S, Supreme Court ruled that, “Although a park is a traditional public forum for speeches and other transitory expressive acts... The placement of a permanent monument in a public park is best viewed as a form of government speech and is therefore not subject to scrutiny under the Free Speech Clause” (PGC v Summum, 2009). By using the precedent of PGC v Summum, the majority stated, “Each plate is a government article serving the governmental purposes of vehicle registration and identification… The state of Texas requires Texas vehicle owners to display license plates, issues every Texas plate, and owns all of the designs on its plates” (Breyer, Walker v SCV). The majority opinion also argued that “both parties agree that the use of personal license plates is not a part of public forum”, which references the case law of International Soc. for Krishna Consciousness, Inc. v. Lee, 505 U. S. 672 –679, and “nor does Texas’s requirement that vehicle owners pay annual fees for specialty plates mean that the plates are a forum for private speech” (Breyer, Walker v SCV), which is taken from the case law of Wooley v Maynard, 430 U.S. 705. The Court acknowledged that the drivers who display a state’s license

Dollree Mapp V. State of Ohio case was brought in front of the Supreme Court in March 1961. After this disturbance occurred with local police officers and in wrongful search of the Dollree home, it brought huge attention on how Americans were being violated of their privacy more often then one would imagine. Since Mapp vs. Ohio was a turning point in our nation’s history due to the facts in this particular case, the changes in our legal system by the forming of the exclusionary rule, and the decision made following the action of officers in the wrong, America is a better place.

In Walker III v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans (2015), the Supreme Court concerns itself with the constitutionality of a decision by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles Board (the DMV Board) to reject the specialty license plate designs submitted by SCV and its members, and the Court addresses possible violations of the First and Fourteenth Amendment. Attorney Scott Keller appears for Walker, the petitioner, and attorney Roger George represents the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), the respondent. Four issues permeate the case: specialty license plates’ relevant form of speech; State control over the content of specialty license plates; specialty license plates as a limited public forum; and, ultimately, the potential violation of both the First Amendment’s Free Speech Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of “viewpoint neutrality.” In a divisive 5-4 decision, Justice Breyer delivers the Court’s opinion, while Justice Alito, joined by the Chief Justice, Justice Scalia, and Justice Kennedy, dissents, concerned with the Court’s interpretation of government speech and the precedent it sets.

When proposing a noise ordinance, one must look at the First Amendment to assure the ruling doesn’t conflict with the public’s constitutional rights. By identifying whether Councilman Prejean’s and Councilwoman Gautreaux’s proposals are content-based or content-neutral, a test can recognize whether the proposal intrudes on the First Amendment rights. Through this process, it’s proven that Councilman Prejean’s proposal needs to be reworked to better fit the constitutional rights and the peace of Justice city whereas Councilwoman Gautreaux’s proposal can be passed right away.

In “The War Photo No One Would Publish”, the author Torie Rose DeGhett depicts the meaning of censorship. DeGhett proposes that pictures should always be published so the viewers can get the full effect of what is happening in the world. DeGhett also proposes the idea that “it’s hard to calculate the consequences of a photographs absence”(DeGhett Page 74). This statement leads to the idea of censorship causing the argument of whether certain media outlooks should be censored to the public or not. Personally, I believe that the ethics of censorship is a controversial topic. People should have the right to view/hear any material they wish, however, there should be standard limitations on certain topics that are

The policy of censorship are currently given my many governments in the world, yet there're still several countries does not support this act. Regarding this issue, I would give my opinion in favor of the formal point of view and refuse the latter.

Censorship is defined by Caso as the suppression of speech or any other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive politically incorrect as determined by the government or any other control body (3). Censorship may be justified from the conservative view whereby the free speech can be maltreated where it undermines the customary principles and communal solidity as withheld by a particular community.

We all have feelings or internal parts. They “talk” to us all day long. We hear them every minute of our lives from the home, work, school; sometimes very opinionated, chatter. But don’t you wonder who controls where our mind goes? Which part of us makes the final decisions? Is there some larger aspect of us that references a broader perspective, an appreciative and compassionate way of seeing things?
