Court Rules New York May Not Issue Pro-Life License Plate

How do such obviously wrong judges ever get on the bench? The entire Judicial system in this country is defective. This is particularly egregious, because it represents a deliberate denial of freedom of speech by an agent of the State. It also flies right in the face of the "equal protection" clause.

They could make an argument for excluding it if they allowed none, but because they allow some, they must allow all.

[Amendment10]

""The state doesn’t have the authority to target The Children First Foundation specialty plates for censorship based on its life-affirming viewpoint," said Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Legal Counsel Jeremy Tedesco."

Instead of using vague language, why doesn’t legal counsel say the following? New York state officials are violating Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, Section 1 prohibiting the states from unreasonably abridging constitutionally enumerated rights, 1st Amendment-protected free speech in this case.

They could make an argument for excluding it if they allowed none, but because they allow some, they must allow all.

They argue that they don't allow any politically-oriented plates.

[Grateful2God]

They should sell plate frames. Especially since NY requires 2 plates. They could get the message across and make the profit. Standard plates are cheaper. The State gets less money.

Another option, stickers/magnets. I see a lot of those with skulls and pentagrams. I wonder which groups are allowed on the plates.

Sad, wasn't this on the plates once? 🗽

[docbnj]

The courts just declare “broad discretion,” which essentially means that some bureau can do whatever it wants.

Believe me, these courts are corrupt as hell. I’ll take that back: hell is pretty straight-forward; these courts are more devious and crooked.

[Secret Agent Man]

Ridiculous.

[DiogenesLamp]

They argue that they don't allow any politically-oriented plates.

I find that unlikely. Politics is entirely in the eyes of the beholder. I'm fairly certain that they have blinders as to what they regard as politics and what they don't.

Anyone got a list of the types of plates they have allowed?

“Does New York have a “pro choice” license plate?”

It doesn’t matter-—all Just systems of Law have to promote public virtue. If killing babies can ever be a virtue——then we do not live in the USA where Individual Natural Rights come from God, not from permission from useful idiots.

Our Supreme Law is literally erased and replaced by Marsist Satanism-—(isn’t that unconstitutional and shouldn’t any judges who violate the intent and meaning of our Constitution after taking an oath to defend it-—should they be in PRISON??????? (Yes).)

The evil fascist judges need to be removed-—impeached and put in prison. They are preventing Truth and censoring the ideas which formed this Nation, and all “Just Laws” have to promote Truth and Justice (virtue).....otherwise—as Justice John Marshall stated (and the judges at Nuremberg) those “laws” are ‘null and void” and people have the DUTY to disobey UNJUST (evil) Laws. All “Justices” have the DUTY to eject unjust (evil) Laws which deny our Individual Natural Rights from God.

[Talisker]

According to Judge Rosemary Pooler, who wrote the majority opinion in The Children First Foundation v. Fiala, the content of custom plates was "private speech" and the plates themselves a "nonpublic forum." Therefore the DMV's uniform policy of excluding controversial, politically sensitive messages from plates, which the agency said stemmed from highway safety concerns, was "reasonable and viewpoint neutral, which is all that the First Amendment requires."

What?! Let me count the ways...

[Jane Long]

Amazing to think that this is the same state where so many fought, for our nations ORIGINAL freedoms and liberties.

[1010RD]

Democrats, no thinking required. This is obviously public speech and wholly covered by the 1st. That government is imposing this just makes it absolutely clear. The judges are political in nature, hence their subjective and patently ridiculous ruling.

I was recently talking to a self-described conservative Catholic who was surprised that the words “separation of church and state” do not appear in the Constitution. He looked up the First Amendment and was surprised at what it said and how plainly clear the language was. When Franklin answered, “A republic, ma’am, if you can keep it”, he really meant it. It’s a populace made ignorant of its rights by government school teachers aka propagandists.

[Sirius Lee]

I’d prefer that states just go back to issuing uniform plates.

Yeah,

They can advocate for organ/tissue donation which is not without controversy on several levels, but they can’t advocate for adoption? I wouldn’t want to be these people on Judgment Day.

If you have to have a license plate to remember your pet, you shouldn’t have a pet.
