Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Thursday that he will appeal a federal court’s ruling that blocked a state law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in public schools.

Paxton filed the motion in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit on Tuesday, requesting that the appeal be heard by all of the court’s judges instead of a three-judge panel.
