The case hinges on whether the statues violate the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights — the state equivalent (and predecessor) of the federal Bill of Rights — which grants all religions equal protection under the law.

The jets contract is the latest use of funds and assets by Noem and the Department of Homeland Security to draw attention. In August, The Post reported that Noem was living rent-free at a home reserved for the Coast Guard’s top admiral.
