Florida's Inability to Seperate Church & State

Yesterday, I reported that the License Plate Wars had all but died today, I'm not so sure. Governor Crist gave this interview, which just surfaced online:

Earlier in the day, Weston Democratic Sen. Nan Rich said she wouldurge Gov. Charlie Crist to veto proposed license plates that depicted Jesus and that depicted a cross in front of a stained-glass window.

Asked about whether he'd veto the legislation, Crist said no way.

"I would not veto those .... No, I would not," Crist said.

So you don't have a problem with Jesus on a license plate?

Crist: "I don’t. No."

What about separation of church and state?

Crist: “If they don’t want one they don’t have to buy one.”

Is that state endorsement of religion?

"I think it ... What's it say? 'In God We Trust' on every single piece of monetary, coins and paper we have? I think it’s fine."

While this interview occurred on April 27th it's recent emergence online might incite some, religious, elements to continue to push this blatantly illegal legislation. Yeah, the Budget Debate is certainly dragging up some of the worst bits of legislation. Bits that should never have been introduced.
