The ACLU filed suit in a Richmond federal court, saying the law infringes on the constitutional rights of the teens and their parents. Advertisement The law was written to target Camp White Tail, which runs an annual week-long nudist camp for nearly 50 teens and preteens in the last week of July. The measure passed in the state house by an overwhelming majority, and was signed into law by Gov. Mark Warner, who made several puns describing it. Among Warner's quips: "This bill has been the butt of many jokes, so with naked admiration for its patron, I am offering this amendment." Rebecca Glenberg, legal director of the Richmond-based ACLU of Virginia, said the ACLU mentioned Warner's puns in the motion for a preliminary hearing. "It supports our argument that there is no real legitimate government interest supporting this law and that it's based on preconceptions that people have about nudism," she said.
