The Texas measure easily passed in the Republican-controlled state House and Senate in the legislative session that ended June 2.

Texas will require all public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments under a new law that will make the state the nation’s largest to attempt to impose such a mandate.

Gov. Greg Abbott announced Saturday that he signed the bill, which is expected to draw a legal challenge from critics who consider it an unconstitutional violation of the separation of church and state.

A similar law in Louisiana was blocked when a federal appeals court ruled Friday that it was unconstitutional. Arkansas also has a similar law that has been challenged in federal court.

      It’s part of the strategy. Keep people’s heads spinning and see what sticks. Even if one or two things survive, it pushes everything towards their goal.

      If at first you don’t get the ruling you want, keep trying and appealing and bringing case after case until you get the ruling you want. It’s the MAGAt way.
