If it's the 5th Circuit, Abbott and TX will get their wish. It's an ultra-conservative and right-wing activist court. ancianita Oct 1 #1

One Obama appointee, one Trump judge… and one left over from Reagan. Any appeal goes straight to SCOTUS.

LULAC v. Abbott was assigned to U.S. District Judge David Guaderrama, a Barack Obama appointee in El Paso; U.S. District Judge Jeff Brown, a Trump appointee in Galveston; and Judge Jerry Smith, who was appointed to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals by Ronald Reagan. All proceedings have taken place in El Paso.
