With a gated driveway,feels she is above the law. IMAGINE THAT

is telling her she can't have a Trump sign, but the issue is that her particular Trump sign is three times the maximum size for any sign in her residential zone.

I agree with her "freedom of speech" argument.

Instead of saying "OK, my sign's too big, I'll just get a smaller one," she's saying "OK, I'll sit in a jail cell because I'm stubborn."

Good for her. Hope she enjoys her time behind bars, if it comes to that.

...one of the first things you do is look at the deed restrictions, the ordinances that will affect you, and organizations that will influence your decisions about the property, such as a home owner's association. If those things don't work for you, you move on. It's no different that assessing if the property has adequate bathrooms or bedrooms for your needs. Those restrictions affect property values, safety, and the quality of life in a community. Some people place a higher priority over the restrictions on the outside of the house than on the number of bedrooms. It's a feature of the property, just as the lot size is. The lady needs to comply with her community's property restrictions or move on.

I lived in Georgia with a homeowner's association. They were always complaining about something. When I moved, I had stained my concrete a little darker...there were marks that predated my ownership. They told me I had to rip out the concrete for doing this...I sent them 25 pictures of other's houses who had done the same thing with no repercussions...it was always hit or miss...so they backed down. They approved my paint color, but then changed their mind...so annoying. I refused to change the color and had kept the approval letter But even if you don't have a homeowner association...your area can still have rules. We wanted a picket fence in front for the dogs here in Ohio,but you can't fence the front lawn. All the Trump supporters have to take down their signs...the last few are now gone...everyone else had already done so. Our area went for Hillary anyway.

Did you read it all?

legislate the size, shape and location of yard signs without running afoul of the 1st amendment.

The key is that the locality in question apply their restrictions consistently and without regard to content.

If Ms. Reitman can show where the city has not done so, she would have a valid cause to sue the city.

I look at the lady and one word comes to mind: stupid.

Just make sure the size of your signs comply with ordinance. I guess since she's a Rethug, the rest of the world needs to make an exception for her. If that were a liberal sign, how long do you think it'd take for someone to plow through that fence with a car?

And welcome to DU.

I've actually been here for many years, just never posted or responded to anything. It's nice to have a place to speak my mind about my politics without worrying about losing my job or being blacklisted in my field.

She has to obey the laws like everybody else.

... is cut each sign in half, then display them together.

Unless the town has a limit on the number of signs.

Or, unless she's rich enough to afford the fines and/or lawyers. Or maybe her lawyers can be paid by the RNC or by Trump's campaign funds.

What part of illegal does she fail to understand?
