The injunction was stayed but that’s not the end of the litigation. It’s really just the beginning. I don’t see that a written opinion regarding the stay has been published so it’s impossible to know the court’s thinking at this time, though the order does say the court will issue an expedited opinion as soon as reasonably possible. But yeah, the 5th Circuit is home to Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana and is where the GOP/conservative/right go to get favorable rulings.

Interestingly, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Utah and Virginia have passed similar measures in recent months.
