A federal judge says South Carolina can't issue license plates that show the image of a cross in front of a stained glass window along with the phrase "I Believe."
U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie said in her ruling Tuesday that the license plates violate the separation of church and state.
The fight over the "I Believe" license plates started shortly after Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer helped push the legislation through in 2008.
