First impression: Seeing Joe biden on this page. What is comically ironic is to see on this page an endorsement of the ACLU by the vice president of the United States. I would like to know if he supports the president in signing IML and adding more cumbersome sex offender laws on the books? Or is he stating that by supporting Nazi’s in Stokie, he thinks the ACLU will support the Nazi-like internet identifiers?
