Disagree.As you may have heard, a group called the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) wants to take advantage of a Texas program that allows private citizens to put their own message in their license plates. SCV's message would include a symbol of the Confederate flag.
There is debate as to whether this is public speech or private speech, or both.
I think this is a tricky case. What do you people think the Constitution calls for in this case? How do you think the judges will vote? This should be decided in the next couple of months.
It is no different than having license plates for ISIS. Both represent enmity toward the American people, and modern humanity. There should not be government sanction for such crap.
Such a prohibition would not be content neutral, nor an incidental restriction on speech, and consequently un-Constitutional.
I don't understand. Are you referring to the people who manufacture the plates? The state pays for manufacturing it, but the Sons of the Confederates pay for the message they want in it. What does it matter who pays the metal workers who turn metal into a license plate?Disagree.As you may have heard, a group called the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) wants to take advantage of a Texas program that allows private citizens to put their own message in their license plates.

No, because there is a crime called "Providing material support to terrorists", and providing services to terrorists is listed as material support. 18 U.S. Code 2339A - Providing material support to terrorists US Law LII Legal Information InstituteI don't understand.

Certainly confederate images are associated with a particular terrorist group (the first group to be ascribed the term by the United States, in fact)

But even then the government, aka taxpayer, is paying the tab. It's the use of prison labor and whether the work they do is owned by the taxpayer that makes this a sensitive issue.
I'm going to predict that if the GOP wins the Whie House in 2016, the plates will adorn the vehices of southern White males all over the south. The new SOCV plates in the rear and the standard rebel battle flag plate in the front! White southern pride at it's finest: the historical atrocities and Black sensitivity be damned!

Head of a terrorist organization = terrorist. Yes.
That is improbable. As a racist, he is part of an intricate secret infrastructure that binds all White conservative makes together.

What do you mean they paid 8000 dollars for the plate? That doesn't make sense. Try again! Do you mean they paid 8000 dollars for rights to make the plate? Clarify please.
"Heil Hitler", "Allah Akbar", "White Power" and a lot of other idiotic declarations are only a stamping plate away.
Of course, freedom of expression allows all this. Freedom of intelligence would eschew it.
On their own, yes. They are not entitled to have the state as a co-conspirator in that ignorance.First Amendment jurisprudence clearly protects the right of citizens to exhibit their ignorance and hate.
