A Nevada man has filed a lawsuit against the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles alleging his rights were violated when he says the state denied his requests for personalized license plates with conservative political themes. James Linlor, a Douglas County resident, filed the complaint July 15 in U.S. District Court in Nevada. A state official said the plate eventually was issued late last year. The complaint alleges Linlor requested a personalized license plate of “GOPALIN” in 2009 and 2010

I had a friend in Massachusetts with "FUBAR" and they refused to renew it one year. The RMV said they had gotten a complaint.

On the other extreme, I used to see a car parked near my wife's work that had an Ohio plate that said, "SMEGMA." How that got approved, I'll never know.

Bruce Breslow, director of the Nevada DMV, said Monday he’s not sure why Linlor brought a lawsuit this month because the “GOPALIN” plate was issued Dec. 30, 2010.

Was it issued to Linlor when he requested in 2009? If not, he has a case as far as I'm concerned.

He’d have to get a “take-a-number” machine for all the moonbats lining up to key his paint.

Interestingly, "NOPALIN" is also available but "NOOBAMA" is not.

Aren’t you worried about the newspaper’s shysters from coming after you, driving you into penury, for posting an excerpt from the LasVegas Sun? /s

He must have been 170 years old.

“but I am still trying to find where in the Bill of Rights are our guaranteed license plates”

ALL Political speech is PROTECTED SPEECH. Period.

Even if you don’t like it, even if it’s a lie, all political speech is protected by the Constitution.

Or maybe his ex-wife got remarried.

Owning property is a right, along with ownership rights goes the right to USE that property, that includes driving a car.

"WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness"

It looks as if the Founding Fathers agree with you. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness covers a lot of ground.
Needless to say, I wholeheartedly agree with you.
