   It makes we wonder why any legislature would pass such an
   obviously-unconstitutional law.  Maybe virtue-signalling is a factor.
   [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue_signalling

   religious.^[7][2] In recent years, the term has become more commonly
   used as a [8]pejorative by commentators to criticize what they regard
   as empty or superficial support of certain political views, and also
   used within groups to criticize their own members for valuing
   appearance over action.^[9][3]^[10][4]

   One major problem is that simultaneously, that legislature is
   "signalling" that they consider the 1st Amendment to the U.S.
   Constitution worthless.
