But U.S. District Judge Jackson L. Kiser ruled in favor of the group in January 2001, on the grounds that Virginia's refusal to issue the tag because of its Confederate flag logo amounted to discrimination against the SCV, and violated the group's right to free speech. Isn't it great that the Confederates lost the war so that all Americans still have the liberties that the Confederates were trying to deny to some (eg. the women whom Jefferson Davis threatened to shoot during the Richmond bread riots of 1863)?

By that logic, since the Union won the war, peacenik protesters who burn the American flag would now be summarily hanged as Union General Ben Butler summarily hanged New Orleans citizen William Mumford for destroying an American flag.
Confederates weren't saints but neither was the Union.
