The Supreme Court today heard arguments challenging whether the state of Texas can refuse to issue a license plate featuring the Confederate battle flag without violating the free-speech rights of Texans who want one, the Times News reports. The Texas division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans sued over the state’s decision not to authorize its proposed license plate with its logo bearing the battle flag, similar to plates issued by eight other states that were members of the Confederacy and Maryland.
