NPR: Is A Confederate Flag License Plate Free Speech?

Citing free speech, this has made it’s way up to the Supreme Court. And it should have. But at the same time, celebrating the Confederacy in 2015 feels… dumb. I don’t care if it’s offensive. If you are a person and you have a problem with what you see, why do you expect someone else to change their behavior to please you? Get a thicker skin, for feck’s sake.

But why do I think this case is clear evidence that I shouldn’t be on the big bench? Unable to weigh evidence? Too hard to evaluate the law? Constitution is too vague? Can’t be unbiased?

No, that’s the easy part – it’s because I would send Texas an eight-figure bill for legal services, for sending this to the highest court in the land and clogging the docket.

Call it a consulting fee.
