 There are fewer things I like seeing better than the scourge of wall street being smacked around a bit.
New York, Mar. 09, 2006 (CNA) - The Second Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's second attempt to ban the phrase "Choose Life" from a pro-adoption specialty plate in New York State. The decision was issued March 7.
This is too cool. But then I always knew that they aren't supposed to censor the message on specialty plates based on content, but in New York, you never know.
The appellate decision further states: "Even if defendants are correct that the picture-plate program is a nonpublic forum ... the complaint alleges that defendants engaged in viewpoint discrimination, and it is clearly established that, even in a nonpublic forum, restrictions on speech must be reasonable and viewpoint neutral."
I can't wait to be able to buy my Choose Life plate here in New York.
