What are the two books?

The First Amendment Retweeted

BREAKING: We filed a motion urging a Virginia court to dismiss obscenity proceedings that would block two books from being sold and distributed in bookstores and libraries in Virginia.

Baseless claims of obscenity should not be allowed to override our First Amendment rights.

If the court deems the books obscene, anyone who sells or even lends the book could face criminal prosecution, regardless of if they have prior knowledge of the obscenity proceedings.

This would impact all independent bookstores and distributors in the state of Virginia.
