New Jersey woman can keep ‘F--k Biden’ signs in yard

A Roselle Park, N.J., homeowner won her battle over posting signage on her property that uses colorful language to disparage President Biden and express continued support for the previous president, Donald Trump.

The town, located 12 miles outside of New York City, voluntarily withdrew its case against homeowner Patricia Dilascio and her daughter Andrea Dick on Tuesday. Roselle Park authorities were also seeking $250 per day in fines that had been accruing since earlier this month, when a lower court judge ruled the posters violated obscenity laws.

In an appeal filed by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of the defendants, attorneys made the “uncomplicated case” that the signage is protected by the constitution.

“The First Amendment exists specifically to make sure people can express strong opinions on political issues — or any other matter — without fear of punishment by the government,” ACLU of New Jersey Executive Director Amol Sinha said after a Superior Court judge ruled in the defendants’ favor.

Hanging from Dilascio and Dick’s fence are a half-dozen signs containing statements like “F--k Biden,” “F--k Biden, Not My President” and “Don’t Blame Me I Voted for Trump.”

A municipal court judge had previously ordered the removal of three of the signs, which contained vulgarity. Neighbors had complained the signage was close to a school.

The town later said in a statement that the cost of continuing to pursue the case would cause “far greater harm to the Borough, as a whole, than good.”

Officials in Roselle Park said they will review town ordinances to address similar situations in the future.
