Those who care about religious liberty and constitutional law weren’t smiling. Among that 235 was one Supreme Court justice, 45 judges on the U.S. Courts of Appeal, 187 on the U.S. District Court, and two on the U.S. Court of International Trade.

Last year, Gov. Jeff Landry signed a bill that requires public schools to post the Ten Commandments. Other states are considering similar laws. Cue the secular outrage. The ACLU was joined by several leftist organizations in a lawsuit challenging the law nearly before the ink from the governor’s signature had time to dry. The new law, according to them, threatens the very foundation of our republic — a republic whose law, of course, is built on concepts found in the Ten Commandments.

Court Reform or Political Coup?

Oct 1, 2024 | decisionmagazine.com | Kelly Shackelford |Bob Paulson

Every election year, candidates in both parties make bold claims promising a better future for the American people. But there’s one campaign promise we’re hearing this year that should raise red flags for all voters regardless of one’s political perspective: court reform—a smokescreen that has nothing to do with reform, but everything to do with power.

Enraged by U.S. Supreme Court decisions that didn’t go their way, radicals are attacking the legitimacy of the Court with proposals that threaten the separation of powers, our civil liberties and the foundations of our constitutional republic.

Last night, reports emerged that President Joe Biden is planning to propose sweeping changes to the Supreme Court.

OPINION: Recently, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, admitted that there is no scientific support for his “6-foot rule” that became a de facto nationwide social distancing law.

In a head-to-head with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, those two are also tied.
