Maryland is likely to begin recalling Maryland license plates with images of the Confederate flag this fall after a federal judge agreed on Thursday to lift a 1997 injunction that prevented the state from taking the specialty plates out of circulation.

U.S. District Judge Marvin J. Garbis issued an order that allows Attorney General Brian Frosh (D) to lift the injunction.

“I look forward to the day when these plates are not longer on the road,” Frosh said in a statement. “This flag is a painful symbol that divides us, conjuring images of hate and subjugation. It has not place in any contemporary government use.”

Maryland may recall the license plate, but Quebec remembers.

Is this country going to blow up Stone Mountain and other Confederate statues like the Taliban destroys archaeological sites.

So... legislatures pass laws, but judges allow executives to break them. Sounds like someone needs defunded, odds of happening about 0.0%

” “This flag is a painful symbol that divides us, conjuring images of hate and subjugation”


Absolute hogwash.

I live in the north and the flag always just meant the south to me.

If I saw it on a bumper sticker I just assumed the person was from the south.

The FEDS shouldn’t be involved with anything the states do regarding license plates.

Next on the HIT LIST is New Hampshire - LIVE FREE OR DIE.

Can’t have that in our new, improved America, can we?

Perhaps Maryland will replace the plates with the National Public Radio Commissioned “New” Southern Flag to replace The Confederate Flag.

Maryland will have to move quickly before the queers adopt it as their flag.

There’s a shock. I would to push a motion that once jeb quits the election that word “bush” can never be used on FR again.

I’m just kidding, almost.

I hope the people with those plates refuse to give them up.

But I wont be the one getting fines and maybe prison.

When they raised the toll on the Verrazano to 15 DOLLARS, an intra borough bridge, i called for everyone to just park in the tolls and shut the car down. no one wanted to and i didn’t want to do it alone

by the way, a black council member from the bronx said there should never be a toll on an intra borough bridge. She said staten island didn’t really count when she was told we have a toll. Dont get me started

How much will it cost to gear-up for the change? The natives might revolt.
