Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans

''Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans'', , was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that license plates are government speech and are consequently more easily regulated/subjected to content restrictions than private speech under the First Amendment.
The Texas Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans sought to have a specialty license plate issued in the state of Texas. The request was denied prompting the group to sue, claiming that denying a specialty plate was a First Amendment violation.
==Opinion of the Court==
The majority opinion, written by Associate Justice Stephen Breyer, relied heavily on the Court’s 2009 decision in ''Pleasant Grove City v. Summum'', which said that a city in Utah did not have to make room in a public park for a monument celebrating the tenets of minor religion even though the park included a donated Ten Commandments monument. The monuments the city chose to accept, the court said, were the government's speech. And when the government speaks, the court added, it is free to say what it likes."〔
Justice Samuel Alito wrote the dissent, arguing that specialty license plates are more commonly regarded as a limited public forum for private expression, consisting of "little mobile billboards on which motorists can display their own messages". Therefore, rejecting the design basically amounts to viewpoint discrimination.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Slip opinion )〕
