-Fair Housing Act expanded to acts that aren't obvious or intentionally discriminatory. Lawsuits can be brought against unfair housing even in the cases of neutral acts that are still discriminatory against minorities. -I think the plates were banning the distribution of plates with the confederate flag.
A little clarification on the license plate ruling: The courts ruled in favor of the state of Texas over the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The dispute being that the State of Texas issued a statement saying the SoCV could not have the confederate flag printed as a special license plate. The court sided with the state essentially because they deemed that license plates are gov't issued and are therefore gov't property, not the property of the individual receiving the license plate. The most odd part of this is in my opinion is that the state of Texas was against the motion in the first place.
