Search Results: the one fight

Gov. Jeff Landry signed legislation on Wednesday requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in every public classroom in Louisiana, making the state the only one with such a mandate and reigniting the debate over how porous the boundary between church and state should be.

Critics, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Freedom From Religion Foundation, vowed a legal fight against the law they deemed “blatantly unconstitutional.” But it is a battle that proponents are prepared, and in many ways, eager, to take on.

The legislation is part of a broader campaign by conservative Christian groups to amplify public expressions of faith, and provoke lawsuits that could reach the Supreme Court, where they expect a friendlier reception than in years past.

Governor argued that the Ten Commandments contained valuable lessons for students.

“If you want to respect the rule of law,” he said, “you’ve got to start from the original law giver, which was Moses.

It will also include a three-paragraph statement asserting that the Ten Commandments were a “prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries.”

That reflects the contention by supporters that the Ten Commandments are not purely a religious text but also a historical document, arguing that the instructions handed down by God to Moses in the Book of Exodus are a major influence on United States law.

“Given all the junk our children are exposed to in classrooms today, it is imperative that we put the Ten Commandments back in a prominent position,” said State Representative Dodie Horton, the Republican sponsor of the legislation.

The measure allows for “our children to look up and see what God says is right and what he says is wrong,” Ms. Horton told colleagues. “It doesn’t preach a certain religion, but it definitely shows what a moral code we all should live by is.”

Bad Boys 4 Ride or Die and Beverly Hills Cops 4 are both out this summer. Now all we need is a Rush Hour 4!

Rush Hour 4 would be totally sick! Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan were one of the best duo ever in those movies. They had the best chemistry and all the fight scenes Jackie Chan did were insane! It's been way too long since the last one. All the fans have been wanting them to come back and do one last one together. Think of all the hilarious moments we'd get with Carter and Lee partners one last time, tracking down some bad guys. And you know the action would be next level! Jackie Chan isn't getting any younger so it'd be perfect to end the series with a bang. Rush Hour 4 needs to happen, it'd be epic! Those movies always give me a good laugh. Fingers crossed they make it happen!

I didn't realize they were that old now! I guess it has been a really long time since Rush Hour 3. But you know what, that could even make Rush Hour 4 even better. Think about it - Carter would be this older, out of shape cop who doesn't move as fast anymore. And Inspector Lee would still be a total badass but maybe have to rely more on his experience and skills than crazy physical stunts. It would be hilarious to see them try to work together now that they're not as young as they used to be. And you just know Jackie Chan would still find a way to blow us away with some amazing action scenes. I bet Chan and Tucker still have the chemistry too. They should totally do it, it could be a great farewell film for the fans. As long as those two are up for it, I say just do it - I'm there opening night for sure!
