Third Circuit Addresses "Choose Life" Tags

The issue of "choose life" license plates came before the Third Circuit yesterday when the court heard oral arguments in Children First Foundation v. Legreide.  The case involves a question of whether New Jersey violated the First Amendment when it declined to authorize the slogan which it deemed "too controversial."   

The Fourth, Sixth and Seventh circuits are among the many courts to have already addressed the issue, and the S.Ct. denied cert in a recent Ninth Circuit case.  Law.com provides a helpful overview of the emerging circuit split.
