Reed v. Town of Gilbert: Another 9-0 Roberts Court Law and Religion Case
The Supreme Court holds unanimously in Reed v. Town of Gilbert that an Arizona municipality's sign code violates the Speech Clause.
I have a little more here, including a note that, though it isn't a Religion Clauses case and though there were a couple of concurrences in the judgment only in Reed, this case continues the Roberts Court's uniform voting pattern in law and religion-related cases of either 9-0 or 5-4. For more discussion of this question, see this paper.
