The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) came to the defence of a New Jersey woman who was fined for ‘F*** Biden’ signs on their front lawn.
Earlier this month, the Roselle Park Municipal Court ruled that Patricia Dilascio and her daughter must remove profanity-laden signs criticizing the president, or face $250-a-day fines. The suburban women have refused.
ACLU New Jersey legal director Jeanne LoCicero emphasized that “all” of the state’s residents “have the right to express themselves freely” under the First Amendment of the US Constitution, and that Roselle Park’s ordinance against obscene signs “should never have been applied to political signs”.
