ACLU files lawsuit over arrests at Santorum book signing

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of a group of young women who claim their constitutional rights were violated when they were ordered to leave a book signing event featuring Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Wilmington, claims that two of the women were arrested for trespassing last year and three others threatened with arrest because of their political views.

According to the lawsuit, in August the women went to a Barnes & Noble store at Concord Mall in Wilmington to challenge Santorum at an event advertised as a book signing and discussion of his book, "It Takes a Family."

The women were ordered to leave by a uniformed state trooper providing security at the event after a member of Santorum's promotional team overheard them talking before the Republican lawmaker arrived, according to the lawsuit.

1. O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

The US looks more and more like pre-WW2 Germany!

2. Jeez, you'd have thought they'd asked him to sign the book, "All the best,

Rick Santorum, the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex", or something.
