The Ten Commandments do not belong in our public school classrooms. No child should be forced to read an unavoidable religious text every day if they want a public education.
In a non-binding opinion, AG Russell Coleman says displaying the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms and on state Capitol grounds would likely pass constitutional muster — despite previous court decisions

Yesterday, we learned but could not verify that Louisville and the US DOJ have agreed to a consent decree for LMPD. Today, the DOJ announced Mayor Craig Greenberg and LMPD Chief Paul Humphrey will hold a press conference at 11:30 a.m. to make a "civil rights announcement."

Now that I’m a law professor footnotes are more important to me.
Also, if you understand this political art you’ve passed at least part of Con Law. Because this was happening at the US Supreme Court literally this afternoon. I know people, I can hook you up. We need good lawyers. Hit me up.

❤️ and needed this:”If you litigate, do it with the expectation that you will win. And act like it…and remain confident. Those who can still feel shame-whether those at your opponents table or those on the bench-will feel it when you hold the standard high. And your clients will never forget it.”

I don't know what words to use to capture how important state courts are now.
Right has cemented its hold on federal courts; in states where it can do the same, that really shuts down civil or voting rights litigation. Left just needs its all in this spaces.
