This should help boost sales!

Two New Jersey Democrats are pushing to have Ann Coulter’s new book “Godless: The Church of Liberalism,” banned from all bookstores in their state because she criticized four 9/11 widows known as “the Jersey Girls.”

Looks to me like they're trying to get booksellers to voluntarily withdraw the book, not pass a law. This is already done unofficially to other conservative titles. It's usually done by local bookstore employees who bury the book under other books or missfile them in the wrong section so they can't be found.russ

Are they just making a statement saying they think it shouldn't be sold, or are they actually trying to get it officially banned somehow? If it's the former then they have as much right to voice their opinions as she does hers, if the latter is possible you Americans have some weird laws.Chris Hyland
