Yesterday, the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in Roake v. Brumley. (Audio of full oral arguments.) In the case, a Louisiana federal district court held that Louisiana House Bill 71 that requires a copy of the Ten Commandments to be posted in every public-school classroom in the state is facially unconstitutional and unconstitutional in all applications. (See prior posting.) Courthouse News Service reports extensively on the oral arguments.
