US court rules against "I Believe" license plates
13-11-2009
US District Court judge Cameron Currie this week ruled the South Carolina state legislature had shown favoured treatement to one religion in allowing cross adorned car number plates, and ordered to halt its issue.
The "I believe" car number plates violates the constitutional separation of church and state, he also said, according to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald.
"Whether motivated by sincerely held Christian beliefs or an effort to purchase political capital with religious coin, the result is the same," Judge Currie wrote in a 57 page order.
"The statute is clearly unconstitutional, and defence of its implementation has embroiled the state in unnecessary (and expensive) litigation."
Christian rights activists decried the decision, and the lieutenant-governor of South Carolina, Andre Bauer, who initiated the legislation, said the lawsuit discriminated against persons of faith.
