Senate rejects religious plate.
That proposed "I believe" plate I told you about a few days ago, has been rejected by the Florida senate.
A license plate that would become the first in the nation to prominently feature a religious symbol was not included in a package of legislation creating new license plates after a vote in the Senate.Opponents of the plate said approval - whose proposed design included a Christian cross, a stained-glass window and the words "I Believe" - would have almost certainly faced a court challenge.
The bill's Senate sponsor said Monday, however, that the chamber's rejection of the plate could also generate a lawsuit. Florida already has over 100 different license plates and by allowing the designs the state has created a "public forum," said Sen. Ronda Storms, R-Valrico.
Great, now Rhonda is gonna sue over it.

I'm glad it didn't pass. But man, who does that woman think she is? Obviously, she thinks her opinion overrides everyone elses.

Mike and I were talking about this the other day. We predicted that no matter if it passed or not, SOMEONE was going to sue.
We predict that this will go all the way to the Supreme Court. Wonderful...more stupid crap to piss away our tax dollars on.
