In an excerpt from a new episode of the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down the new Louisiana law requiring public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments. They also preview the ACLU’s lawsuit challenging the law under the First Amendment.

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss: 

– The Florida hearings during which District Judge Aileen Cannon appeared skeptical of former President Donald Trump’s arguments challenging special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment as unlawful; and

– A federal judge’s order freezing enforcement of Iowa’s controversial immigration law, which makes it a state crime to enter the country, and the state of Iowa, illegally.
