It's a narrow victory in that it only strikes the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. The judge ruled the state of Texas lacked standing to challenge the rest. Texas only challenged two specific parts of the law. It'll likely be appealed to the 5th Circuit.
Maybe some other states can get in on it.
Who the heck knows what's in the bill, but it probably effects other states as well.
It's so weird that there are no Constitutional provisions that any part of a bill (or omnibus, I guess) that is successfully proven unconstitutional invalidates every other part of the bill, effective immediately.
