Cheney v. Sternberg

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that an individual's interest in driving a vehicle represents a due process concern
• stating that a restriction on vanity plates “concern[ed] private individuals’ speech on government-owned property”
• reasoning that Vermont’s very similar vanity-plate program is a nonpublic forum
• permitting prohibition of scatological references on license plates because restrictions applied equally to all perspectives on issue
• finding Vermont’s restrictions on offensive license plate terms reasonable in light of the state’s interests in identifying vehicles and not associating the state with such speech
• finding a legitimate government interest in not being associated with offensive license plate language
