    The 114th Congress: Two More Years!

    This was the issue in the license plate case that came up a year or two ago before SCOTUS. The Court found that license plates were the government's speech, not the driver's, and the state could limit, our allow, pretty much whatever it deemed appropriate.
    Technically, yes, but they already allow the Confederate Flag in these cemeteries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Cross_of_Honor

    I'm sure this will be challenged in court and, while you're right about government speech, it is going to be challenged on what people are allowed to place on the graves themselves.

    Wouldn't it just be easier to get rid of the whole vanity plate system? I could never understand why you would want to have that...

      The kind of people who get vanity plates, are often the same kind of people who plaster their car with bumperstickers. It all boils down to this:

          When I lived in NC they were no extra charge so everybody had one. I lived in between FLEX IT and ATI2UDE. That was 20 years ago and I still remember, so I guess they're effective.

            They are minimally more money here in NH. My husband and I have matching ones that are a play on our last name. Prior to that, I had bstnewe. They're fun (and ubiquitous up here).

              The new ones with the bear in the middle have lead to some hilarious ones like Manbearpig.

                Thought about them for the Miata, decided nah for now.

                Think you're allowed 7 characters in CO - might go with THEANSR (the answer is always Miata.)

                  Money maker for the state. They are really popular here. I have one that is a variation of "hiker" and our other car has the name of the unorganized township (twp ##) our camp is in..

                        I can't see or hear the interview because my employer blocks the host site Soundcloud, but Bloomberg did an interview with MN's junior senator, Stuart Smalley, on a few topics of interest.

                          IINM Rover gave us a highly plausible explanation a few dozen posts ago.

                              He is supposedly one of the very few Members who is universally respected by his colleagues of both parties. His staffers would also run through a wall for him, which is equally rare.

                              Apparently he is just flat out a good guy who also got elected. So it does happen once or twice a century.
