COLUMBIA, South Carolina -- The Sons of Confederate Veterans South Carolina license plate has come under attack from a lawmaker there that wants the plate banned by the state legislature. Many other states, including Louisiana, have authorized such "vanity" vehicle license plates.

A statement from an SCV member in Charleston said such a law would be a violation of the members First Amendment rights.
