2014Returning then to the technical structure of the strict scrutiny test, the district court correctly observed the test is twofold. 5 For a law to survive strict scrutiny, “the government bears the burden of proving the constitutionality ... by showing (1) that the [law] serves a compelling governmental interest, and (2) that the [law] is narrowly tailored to serve that compelling interest.” Draughter, 13-0914 at 8, 130 So.3d at 862, quoting In re Warner, 05-1303, p. 37 (La.4/17/09), 21 So.3d 218, 246 .
