Texas

"Texas WOULD have been and SHOULD have been the first state in the nation to put the 10 Commandments back in our schools," Patrick said in a post on X. "But, SPEAKER Dade Phelan killed the bill by letting it languish in committee for a month assuring it would never have time for a vote on the floor."

Yeah, because there's no way it's constitutional; it would be a monumental waste of everyone's time to even entertain such a bill. The Louisiana bill is likely going to be tossed out in court, too, unless their goal is (and my hypothesis is that it is) to try to get before SCOTUS and dishonestly argue that the "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." doesn't apply to State legislatures—which is a state vs federal power inversion I don't think even the current SCOTUS would be willing to entertain.

Conservative faith-based bills DON’T HAVE A PRAYER UNDER SPEAKER DADE PHELAN. Besides Dade Phelan killing the Ten Commandments bill last session, Dade Phelan also killed Senate Bill 1396 by Sen. Middleton, which would have allowed school boards to vote to put prayer back in…

Yeah, because you see, there's still that pesky First Amendment. I hope you fall on a cactus, you disingenuous ghoul. I'm so fucking tired of the political theatre from Abbott and his cronies.
