发帖数: 61690 | 1 The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Texas can ban a special license plate
with the Confederate flag, in a decision that saw conservative Justice
Clarence Thomas surprisingly side with his liberal colleagues.
The case stems from the decision by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
Board not to approve a license plate design by the Texas Sons of Confederate
Veterans. The board has allowed a number of other specialty plates for
other groups and was challenged in court.
The opinion, authored by Justice Stephen Breyer, upheld the state board's
decision, arguing that issuing specialty or vanity license plates is a form
of government speech, not individual speech by the person requesting the
plate. |
