A U.S. District Court has ruled that a California statute limiting billboard use to commercial messages violates the First Amendment. While plaintiffs attorney Dennis Zell called Judge Charles Breyer's order "a huge victory for free speech," he also expressed unease about whether the decision would hold up on appeal. "I have a problem with a federal court judge rewriting state law," said Zell. "It's certainly going to be an issue at the 9th Circuit." But the state has not announced plans to appeal.
