Their Communist paymasters friends and allies are probably still steamed about this September 10 story:
A disputed portrait of Jesus Christ will remain at the Slidell city courthouse in Louisiana after a federal judge refused to grant a demand by the American Civil Liberties Union to have the painting removed...
In response [to the ACLU], the city of Slidell mounted additional portraits of 15 of history's preeminent lawgivers alongside the Jesus painting [which had been there for a decade]. The framed portraits added on Aug. 31 included those of Confucius, Hammurabi, Moses, Charlemagne, and Sir William Blackstone.

I can't believe the ACLU would attempt to remove the image of such a pre-eminent legal scholar from a courthouse! What a bunch of maroons!
