(OH-18) Moll Slams the ACLU

The ACLU has filed a brief defending the rights of Senator Larry Craig to engage in homosexual bathroom sex. Apparently, they consider it well within the protections of the First Amendment, and there's an expectation of privacy in a public bathroom. Here's the e-mail I received from the Moll for Congress campaign about her position on the issue:
Zanesville, OH 1/18/07 - Jeanette Moll, conservative Republican candidate for Congress in Ohio's 18th Congressional District, today called on Ohio ACLU leaders to denounce a brief filed in the Senator Larry Craig case where the group claims that homosexual sex in a public bathroom stall is protected by the U.S. Constitution.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a brief in defense of disgraced Senator Larry Craig which states that people who have sex in a public bathroom stall have a reasonable expectation of privacy and cannot be prosecuted. They contend that Craig couldn't have attempted to engage an undercover officer in sex in public, as the stall is a private space.
Moll, an attorney and former Magistrate Judge, said the position of the ACLU is an insult to common sense and dangerous to Ohio families.
"Larry Craig was a public official soliciting another public official in the bathroom of a public facility - what exactly does the ACLU see as private in the whole matter?" Moll asked.
Moll is absolutely correct in fighting the ACLU over this issue, and she has sent the Ohio branch of the organization letters, telling them that they should condemn the ACLU brief or resign. Sure, they're not going to resign, but we at least know Moll stands strong for families. Consider Moll fighting the ACLU a big plus in her column.
