ACLU Sues Over Arrests At Santorum Book Signing

A group of women were arrested and were forced to leave a book signing and discussion with Sen. Rick Santorum. When someone overheard their political views, they were asked to leave. When they asked why they had to leave, they were arrested.

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

The women were ordered to leave by a state trooper hired to provide security after a member of Santorum's promotional team overheard them talking before the senator arrived, according to the suit. When two of the women asked why they were being ejected, they were arrested, the suit say.

"The trooper denied these women their right to share their views with an elected official," said Julia Graff, attorney for the Delaware ACLU, which sued along with the Pennsylvania ACLU.

I love how our government wages war over the American way, while at the same time stripping away the rights of Americans.
