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.

      Yet it was a Trump judge vying for a promotion that allowed him to retain control of CAs national guard.

      It was a Trump judge that allowed him free from consequence for how he stored confidential documents in a bathroom near a copier while allowing visitors. There are enough of them and 6 on the Supreme court.
