Interesting article on the ACLU blog today. Seems a jail in Virginia was censoring inmates mail from home, removing Bible passages. They are trying to get this practice stopped, as it attacks the first amendment rights of the persons sending and receiving the mail. It just goes to show, the ACLU doesn't pick sides based on politics or religion. They are strictly for protecting the civil liberties as expressed in the Constitution. More power to them :)
