Louisiana classrooms are given the green light by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to put up Ten Commandments posters.  That after the court on Friday vacated a three-judge panel’s earlier decision that found the law requiring the classroom displays unconstitutional.

Ciolino also spoke to us about the US Supreme Court’s decision that strikes down most of President Trump’s tariffs.

Ciolino says this decision is final and will cost the Trump administration billions of dollars in refunds.

Cut 4 (09) “…and how much.”
