This article is based on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania decision in ALA v. United States No. 01-1303/Multnomah County Public Library v. United States No. 01-1322 decided May 31, 2002. Please note that page numbers referenced in this article refer to the decision as published in pdf format (not the html format) and may not correspond to the official citation.

Political sites such as a Libertarian candidate's page, the...
