BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has vacated a previous ruling that declared Louisiana’s Ten Commandments Law unconstitutional.

According to Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, the previous opinion that declared the law unconstitutional was made by a three-judge panel. The AG said the case will now be reheard before an entire court.

“Glad to see the Fifth Circuit is taking this en banc. Looking forward to those arguments in court,” AG Murrill said.

A date has not been announced for arguments when the case is reheard.

The law was authored by a lawmaker in north Louisiana and requires the Ten Commandments to be hung in every public classroom in the state.
