The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the state of Texas doesn't have to make "Sons of Confederate Veterans" license plates available if it don't wanna. The state didn't wanna, the Sons Of Treason thought that was violating their free speech, and the Supremes said, no, dear, a license plate is the government's speech, not yours, and the state has discretion over which groups may receive special tags. We at Wonkette would just like to thank the U.S. Supreme Court for this one, seeing as how the government of Texas really does need positive reinforcement on those rare occasions when it does something right. Perhaps we could give the state a tasty treat to further encourage the desired behavior.
He also sided with the libs a few years back about a free speech case concerning burning crosses. On that one, he actually asked a question during the oral arguments. (It was the first time he'd done that in oral arguments in seven years.)
As the next comment mentions, Thomas was the deciding vote, so it is at least very, very chilly down there already.
I can understand that, given that NZ is such a shithole.Oh, wait, sorry, I was thinking of South Carolina again.
Hi, this is Wonkette. We make jokes here. You may want to consider the possibility that someone is being sarcastic before excoriating them. Thanks!

Sarcasm? Ah...... yes. I see now. Never mind then.
I now understand better how Sir Launcelot felt after that wedding 'rescue' scene in "Holy Grail"....

And being forced to get their "colors" done while getting a nice pedicure.
Sounds good to me, but maybe I should check with my cardiologist first.
My first thought also. Texas? Really?
Thanks.
I'm waiting to see if Roof's murders give the flag controversy a life of its own like the Washington Redskins fiasco.

Southerners are too stupid to understand that the winners write the history books.
I use to think Jim Beam was awesome. Then, I had some decent bourbon.
The Supreme Court is a gun-free zone.
I think everything should start with a nice brunch.
He just likes being the center of attention.
Toaster ovens figure somewhere into the agenda.
