We had our fresh hearing at the Wayne County Circuit Court on Friday. The Honorable Bruce U. Morrow, presiding. You can read all about it in the new Metro Times article:
Law and Art
I have to imagine that any ruling on this issue presumably will affect everyone in Wayne County, including well-established artists such as Tyree Guyton (the Heidelberg Project) as well as ordinary citizens who wish to decorate their properties as they see fit, and to express themselves according to their First Amendment rights.
Here's to many-faceted free expression!
"That a law subjecting the exercise of First Amendment freedoms to the prior restraint of a license, without narrow, objective and definite standards to guide the licensing authority, is unconstitutional...And our decisions have made clear that a person faced with such...a law may ignore it, and engage with impunity in the exercise of the right of free expression for which the law purports to require a license". Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart (1969).
