I’m sure the ACLU would have no problem with a reference to “Ramadan” or the “Koran” on a plate.

That's not the issue. The issue is that this specialty plate is being given preferential treatment because it is religious in nature, in that no specialty plate fee is charged. I think the plaintiff is right, it is preferring people of a religion which is against their constitution. OTOH, of all the nit-picking, BS little things to start a lawsuit over...

IN context of the Indiana Preamble posted in 9, clearly they didn’t mean that recognition of God was preferring a particular religion, or their constituion itself would be in violation.

The ACLU seeks to compare apples and oranges and then complain that they're not the same. As I understand it from a friend at the DMV, The plates for which an administrative fee applies generate $ for the benefit of the chosen cause, requiring that the funds actually be administered. These plates generate no money for God.

Mr. Falk has now lost two huge cases in the last year (the other one complained about the State Legislature opening each session with prayer), meaning that he may actually have to get a job to support himself.
