The painting has been on display at the courthouse for nearly a decade and hadn't provoked any complaints prior to the ACLU's recent objections.

Again, what is the motive here?
The ACLU is suing a local parish that helps fund the court

It would be my guess that the person who the ACLU is filing the compliant on behalf of doesn't even live in that town or possibly even that state.  That is just wrong. :rant:
