LINMARK ASSOCIATES v. WILLINGBORO 431 U.S. 85 (1977)
Without dissent, the burger court invalidated a local ordinance prohibiting real estate "For Sale" and "Sold" signs. The ordinance sought to reduce the flight by white homeowners from racially integrated neighborhoods. Although a ban upon all signs for aesthetic purposes might survive a constitutional test, wrote Justice thurgood marshall, this ordinance violated the first amendment because the township had selected a particular message for prohibitions.
