The Supreme Court said Monday it won’t review a case of North Carolina ceasing to issue license plates showcasing the Confederate flag.
The North Carolina chapter of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans, a nonprofit group, asked the high court to review a decision by the state not to issue their personalized license plate since a Confederate flag was part of it.
The organization wanted the high court to review a lower court’s ruling against it after the state said it would stop issuing the plates in 2021, reasoning that the plate “is offensive to good taste and decency.”It would have taken four justices to vote in favor of hearing the case.

Supreme Court won't review North Carolina's decision to nix license plates with Confederate flagThe Supreme Court says it won’t review North Carolina’s decision to stop issuing specialty license plates with the Confederate flag. The court did not comment Monday in declining to hear the case. The dispute stems from North Carolina’s 2021 decision to stop issuing specialty license plates bearing the insignia of the North Carolina chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. North Carolina says the plates “have the potential to offend those who view them.” The chapter says the state’s decision violated state and federal law. The Supreme Court ruled in 2015 in a similar case that Texas could limit the content of license plates because they're state property.
