The black congressional caucus...
When will the world stop making everything that exists...flags, crosses...divisive.
Text of the 10th Amendment:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
A) The Constitution obviously does not delegate the power to regulate license plates to the federal government.
B) The states certainly did not delegate the power to regulate license plates to the federal government.
Conclusion: That power is reserved to the individual states; the Supreme Court has no say in the matter.
'Course nobody follows The Constitution anymore anyways.
It’s ok to hate an a flag of historical significance to our country, but any utterance of negativity towards the f*g flag and you’re labeled a homophobe.
Shame on Texas for being politically correct. I remember when Bush removed the plaques honoring Confederates in the State Capitol which I thought was a piss poor pandering to the whims of the race of professional victims.
The planet Kolob, not so much. Murder authorized by a cult of fanatic religious zealots— not so much.
Black congressional caucus- perfectly legit if not dominated by crazed black muslim islamofascist Farrakhanites.
The “yelling fire in a theater” limit of religion exists and should be legally applied.
Forgot one other “non-church”— Scientology.
Freedom of religion and freedom from religion established by the State. IF the advancement of a relgion violates our Constitution and Bill of Rights— you bet— outlaw them, because they are charades.
What always must be considered in cases heard by the SCOTUS is how their decision *may* be applied in very different situations. For this reason, the court subdivides its decisions into four types: whether it is a “blanket” decision, applying across the US; or a regional decision, applying only in those states of a particular federal district court; one that only affects a particular state. And finally, whether their decision applies just to this particular case.
In this particular case, consider the extremes. On one side, if states cannot exclude vanity license plates based on content, what if some loathsome group submits a generally offensive plate? On the other extreme, that states would be prohibited from issuing any themed plates.
In the latter case, right now, all of the states issue “Gold Star” vanity plates, as well as “veteran” and “purple heart” plates. Code Pink hates these and calls them extremist so they should be banned.
License plates are government documents. Stamping any political or religious speech on government documents IS the definition of establishment. The state needs to get out of this business, pronto.
Oh, and Confederate flag supporters? I have to put up with foreigners flying flags other than the stars and stripes in their yards and on cars because Free Speech. I don’t have to put up with it on official government documents. There is ONE FLAG in this country, the stars and stripes.
You lost the right to argue otherwise when you lost the war. The terms of the Confederate states’ readmission to the Union included fealty to the stars and stripes. That hasn’t changed.
You wanna argue some more? Tell me why Mexican Americans can’t have the flag of Mexico stamped on license plates here in California. Because Free Speech, right?
SCOTUS should have declined to involve itself.

The black congressional caucus are a bunch of bigots. My truck with the CSA flag is it represents treason and separatism. I wouldn’t have wanted to live or ever live in a divided and Balkanized America. Since 1865 to the present day we have fought and won wars for our freedom and others under The Stars and Stripes, not The Stars and Bars. Our young men and women are serving today under Old Glory and no other flag.
Am I fully wrong?
