The Pro-Family Law Center filed a lawsuit against the operators of the Riverside County Historic Courthouse after the operators acquiesced to the threat of litigation by the liberal Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
Earlier this week, the ADL threatened the Riverside County Superior Court with legal action if it did not remove a quote by President Theodore Roosevelt that states: "The true Christian is the true citizen."
The quote, which has been there since 1930, is one of many quotes from other presidents, including Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson.
But the ADL claims that the Roosevelt quote “marginalizes” non-Christians.
