Louisiana's going for en banc to get the 10 Commandments in state public school classrooms because this is CA5 we're talking about https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ca5.221848/gov.uscourts.ca5.221848.226.0.pdf

1. Let all religions in

If you let one religion into schools all religions have to be included including Jewish, Islam, Hindu, and Satanic. Why not have a hall in the school show casing the ten commandments, Tenets of Islam, Tenets of the Jewish religion, and all other religions. In my opinion that would be ok but the christians would go nuts.

PS. Remember I think it was Louisiana which passed a parochial school voucher years ago but when a Muslim school applied for the same program but was denied they were sued. The state I think lost the case because they actual came out and said it only applied to christian schools. Courts ruled it was unconstitutional if other religious schools were excluded.

3. Current make up of 5th Circuit

The three judge panel that struck down the Louisiana law consisted of a GW Bush judge, a Biden judge and a senior judge appointed by Clinton. The senior judge doesn't participate in deciding whether to grant rehearing en banc.

The rest of the tour that will decide consists of three other GW Bush judges, two Reagan judges, six Trump judges, one other Clinton judge, two Obama and one other Biden.

Our best hope, and it may be slim, is that at least three of the five GW Bush and Reagan judges join with the Clinton, Obama and Biden judges -- and the two judges from the original three judge panel eligible to vote -- to defeat the motion for rehearing.
