A St. Louis congressman filed a federal lawsuit today in the removal of a student painting depicting a police officer with a boar-type head, charging the Architect of the U.S. Capitol Stephen Ayers with suppressing the artist’s First Amendment rights.
Another fascist snowflake loses it. The judge needs to throw this racist, cop-hating maggot and his shyster “lawyers” out of his court.

Rep. Wm. "Lacy" Clay
"Censorship" would mean that the government forbids the publication of the work altogether.

Someone put a foot/ladder/chair/etc through this painting and be done with
Sadly, the only thing leftists understand is leftist tactics

doesnt this congressman know the race card has expired ...???

If the Congresscritter likes it so much, give it to him to hang in his own office.
I never heard of Rep. Wm. "Lacy" Clay (D-Mo.) before.
But when I read this I knew racial whining was involved.
And I was right.
Total b.s., no one has the “right” to have their “art” (sic) displayed in the US Capitol. The guy’s constitutional freedoms are not infringed upon at all. Crazy what libturds will try to sue over....
These people are insane.
