A federal judge is poised to issue a ruling any day in the controversial case of a painting hung at the U.S. Capitol depicting a police officer as a pig. The painting had hung in a tunnel leading to the Capitol for more than seven months before it became a lightning rod of controversy. A few days later, Colorado Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn removed it again, arguing it didn’t belong at the Capitol. Republicans eventually issued a formal complaint that led to the architect of the Capitol removing it in January. Clay filed a federal lawsuit over the removal of the painting, arguing that it violated constitutional rights of expression.
