Supreme Court won’t hear license plate case

The Supreme Court announced yesterday that they won’t hear a case from pro-choice groups trying to block states from having “Choose Life� license plates.

About a dozen states allow drivers to pay extra for the specialty car tags to show the car owner’s opposition to abortion.
Justices said they would not look at tag laws in Louisiana and Tennessee.
Abortion opponents contend they have a free-speech right to broadcast their own views on their car tags. Proposals to offer car owners an alternative “Choose Choice” plate failed in both state Legislatures.

And I’m guessing it’s not because “Choose Choice� just sounds weird. (Which it clearly does, I have to admit.)
