There are 11 circuit courts, plus 2 in DC.
They are 1 step below the SCOTUS.
If only 1 circuit makes a ruling like this on a federal law, it is the law across the country, unless another circuit rules the opposite way on the exact same issue.
I would not be suprised if that happens, but until then, it applies nationwide.
However, if you go to district (trial) court in another circuit, the lower court might not abide by this ruling, though it should.
Rulings within a circuit are binding on the lower courts in that circuit, but only persuasive in other circuits. However, if there is no ruling in your circuit, and this ruling in the 5th Circuit, then all courts should follow this ruling as persuasive since there is no other ruling to look at. But many judges are corrupt, so there is no way to know for sure.
So, use it to advantage now, and we'll see what happens as more cards are dealt from the deck. Companies should start getting skiddish about this, now that there is a solid stay order. This is especially true for any company headquartered in Texas.
Also, it is a "stay" which means temporary. The fight is not over, but this is solid knockdown for our team.
