The Indiana Court of Appeals upheld keeping the phrase from U.S. coinage on the state’s car license plates. Complainants said that the statement was, in essence, a vanity fee, and should incur a $15 charge like other Indiana vanity plates.
The ACLU is looking at an appeal. It’s more than just a religious imposition, though, as the state lets some other vanity plates avoid the fee as well.
So, this does not look like it’s any better as a possible SCOTUS test case than Newdow did. And SCOTUS would probably call the phrase civic religion anyway.
