ADF attorneys represent NC speaker of the House, Senate president pro tempore

    WASHINGTON     On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed a lower court decision that had allowed the American Civil Liberties Union to censor North Carolina’s “Choose Life” message, which the state legislature voted to make available on a specialty license plate. The Supreme Court vacated the decision and ordered the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit to reconsider the case in light of the high court’s June 18 decision in another license plate case, Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans.

    In February, the 4th Circuit upheld a district court decision that prohibited the state from issuing “Choose Life” plates unless it also issued a pro-abortion plate. That prompted Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys and an allied attorney representing Phil Berger, president pro tempore of the North Carolina Senate, and Thom Tillis, then speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives (now a U.S. senator) to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case, Berger v. American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina.
