It seems a near certainty that there will issue from the Supreme Court an opinion that the State of Louisiana did not run afoul of the First Amendment of the US Constitution in ordering that a specific Ten Commandment text be prominently displayed in every public school in the state from kindergarten through university. There is room for hope that it will be a dissenting opinion, although recent Court behavior shrinks that room. Any opinion upholding the Louisiana Ten Commandments mandate will conflict dramatically with well-established First Amendment precedents. What could it look like?
