You Better Believe It: Christian license plate reportedly banned by U.S. District Court {Autoblog}
Nov 11th 2009 4:24PM A license plate is a legal instrument of the State (if you look at your registration you dont even own your plate, the state can demand it back anytime they want). If you were making them in your garage it could say anything you want.
Because they are a legal instrument this is in direct violation of the Establishment Clause.

the post office can sell religious stamps as they sell stamps from TONS of religions.
oaths do not have to be taken on a bible - they can be taken on a bible, koran, tora, copy of the constitution, etc. any book of your choice.

Nov 11th 2009 4:11PM No, but it does mean that the church cannot endorse one religion over another.
You are not "banning" a group from anything. A license plate produced by the State that has a religious message on it is tacit endorsement of that religion. That is a DIRECT violation of the Establishment Clause.
The Establishment Clause is exactly what protects religion from government as it stops anyone from saying they are more right about religion than anyone else (in a legal sense, because as we know people still say that all the time).
If you are going to invoke history, at least know history.

Nov 10th 2009 9:57AM I think it looks great, though the proportions of that front end may be odd... definitely need an in person view to make final judgment.
