This is a big Republican tactic. If the Republicans [aka the GOP] have control of a state government, they can pass a law that they know will be struck down in Federal court. Say they mandate that all classrooms have a cross on the wall. The Left has to spend time and money fighting the law. Meanwhile, the GOP can tell their voters that they, the GOP, are protecting the rights of the persecuted Christians. Since the GOP runs the state government, they don’t have to pay for the law suits out of their own pockets, the taxpayers foot the bill.
It a political theater that panders to their base, and costs the Left money to fight.
