State District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble ruled\u2062 that House Bill 2127, mockingly referred to as the &#8220;Death Star&#8221; \u200bbill, is unconstitutional. This ruling comes just days before the law was set to take effect, much to\u2062 the delight of Democratic mayors who see it as a triumph in the ongoing &#8220;war on cities&#8221; waged by \u2062Republicans.<\/p>\n<h3>Mayors Celebrate a Much-Needed\u2062 Win<\/h3>\n<p>Democratic mayors across Texas are celebrating this ruling as a crucial victory.

State \u200cRep. Dustin \u2063Burrows dismissed the judge&#8217;s decision, declaring, &#8220;The judgment today by a\u200b Democrat Travis County District \u200bJudge is not worth the paper it\u2019s printed on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have consistently portrayed \u200cthe law as a necessary measure to\u2064 counteract Democrat-led cities&#8217; regulations that\u2064 they\u2064 believe hinder economic prosperity.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the ongoing legal battle, this ruling is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrat-controlled-house-passes-1-9-trillion-stimulus-bill-two-dems-vote-against-it\/\" title=\"Democrat-Controlled House Passes .9 Trillion Stimulus Bill; Two Dems Vote Against It\">significant step forward<\/a> for cities fighting for their right\u2064 to self-govern and innovate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Texas judge halted a law preventing cities from passing progressive legislation.
