justice kagan asked the solicitor-general of texas, mr scott keller - could texas issue a licence plate saying vote republican but refuse to issue one that says vote democratic. he had no good answer. basically the implication of his position was yes, we could do that the first amendment does not apply. >> on the other hand for the other side we have the lawyers of the sons of confederate veterans. they filed suits arguing it's free speech for the individual that owns the car. they were backed into the corner by the justices because it forced the lawyers to say that their free speech position allowed for swat stickers or calls. are there limits to free speech under the circumstances? >> well, that was the answer that the justices really wanted from mr george repeating the confederate veterans and justice kagan put it to him saying imagine the worst racial slur you can think of. does the state have a duty to put it on a licence plate on request - and mr george said yes, there were no limits. the individual a speak, they can say what they want and say it on a state-owned licence plate. ei
