Ruling on Louisiana pro-life license plate [5th Circuit]
9:21 PM ET

Keeler, et al. v. Stalder, et al., United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, April 13, 2005 [ruling that federal courts lack jurisdiction in dispute regarding anti-abortion license plates because the case amounts to a tax dispute that belongs in state court]. Excerpt:
Keeler’s First Amendment attack on Louisiana’s prestige license plate program satisfies only the first part of Hibbs. Her success, however, flies in the face of Hibbs’s second prong: in enjoining the program’s operation, Keeler’s judgment has placed the federal courts in the position of reducing state tax revenues. Hibbs affords no support for Keeler’s demand to eliminate the revenues generated by the specialty plate program.
