License Plates and Compelled Speech

These are two license plate cases that are resolved in two very different ways. What are the claims at issue? What does the plaintiff want? How does that explain the result

Note that Walker is an important "government speech" case (as is Rust, which we've discussed) -- we're not going to spend too much time on government speech, but it's a good idea to get the sense of what the doctrine is about from the excerpt here.
