Had the law simply banned the application of ANY religious laws in regards to federal or state cases, it would be fine, since it is just elaborating on the 1st amendment. But, you cannot put a redundant law on the books that so clearly goes against another law.

What law does it go against?
I can see "redundant", although it never hurts to clarify things. But how is it unconstitutional? It would be like passing a law that says you're not allowed to use the Ten Commandments to prove a case in court! How would THAT be unconstitutional, and how is it different from what happened here?
