My guess is that this judge has an ax to grind with immigrants and Abbott has the little man's syndrome (has nothing to do with his handicapped FYI) and wants to make a name for himself outside of Texas so neither of them will back down and this will have to go to the 5th circuit court of appeals and (correct me if I'm wrong), the offer of excluding Texas will be off the table there.

Any other people have inputs?
