The 114th Congress: How Low Can They Go?

Re: The 114th Congress: How Low Can They Go?

To the extent the government both owns the cemeteries and cemeteries not being traditional places of public expression (like say, a state capitol), it has the right to express its own speech or limit the expression of contrary speech.

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.

In Maine they recently decided long time restrictions on vanity license plates were limiting people's free speech rights, so now lots of things that were previously banned from license plates are now allowed.
