Louisiana law isn't about Ten Commandments. It's Christian nationalist bait for Supreme Court.

Spend enough time listening to politicians, and eventually, one of them will tell you the truth.

"I can't wait to be sued," Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry declared four days before signing a law last week mandating that all public school classrooms – from kindergarten to college – display a Protestant Christian version of the Ten Commandments.

Landry made that declaration not in his state's Capitol but nearly 600 miles away in Nashville, Tennessee, where he was the keynote speaker at a fundraiser for the Tennessee Republican Party.

Courting his party's Christian nationalists with controversy is an excellent way to boost a fella's national profile. Getting sued and maybe having that case go to the U.S. Supreme Court, where a few justices might be willing to toss overboard decades of precedent, is even better.

1. Actually, it is more likely that the case would be decided without ever going to the Supreme Court.

Since there is already a precedent-setting decision on the books, once this lands in a federal district court, and they rule on it, Louisiana would have to withdraw the law or stop mandating the commandments be placed in classrsooms until, and if, the court decided to take the case.

2. Glassroth v. Moore

Remember Alabama CJ Roy Moore's big rock? Ten Commandments monument installed in AL Supreme Court building, Appeals court ruled it a violation of the Establishment clause of the First Amendment, and ordered it removed. Louisiana's law should get the same treatment, and likely will, up to a point--specifically on appeal to SCOTUS, where the Gang of 6 will use it as an opportunity to overturn precedents dating back 80 years. I have zero faith in those basturds' willingness or ability to uphold the existing law on such matters.
