If this is any indication of how the Atlantic lawsuit is going to go, then 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I mean this is as blatantly a violation of the establishment clause as there ever could be. The 5th circuit is a lawless entity at this point.
BREAKING: Texas can require public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms, a U.S. appeals court rules.

The all inclusive permission slip and get out of jail free lifestyle. "If I did it, I'm forgiven but I am not required to atone or face punishment because I have friends and beliefs that define my existence. It's simply out of my hands. It's thy will be done." Or something like that
"Part of the reason the weaponization work has been difficult is that you need people who are MAGA and who are really competent," said Chad Mizelle, former chief of staff for Bondi. "Many career prosecutors are not interested in this kind of work. It's a very small group of people."
