Posted Thu, October 30th, 2014 10:16 pm by Maureen Johnston

The petition of the day is:

Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Inc.

14-144

Issue: (1) Whether the messages and images that appear on state-issued specialty license plates qualify as government speech immune from any requirement of viewpoint neutrality; and (2) whether Texas engaged in “viewpoint discrimination” by rejecting the license-plate design proposed by the Sons of Confederate Veterans, when Texas has not issued any license plate that portrays the confederacy or the confederate battle flag in a negative or critical light.

Posted in Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Cases in the Pipeline
