One of my first thoughts was a conservative lower court made this ruling just to motivate their base to get out and vote.
Quote:The court determined that the federal law violates the Constitution's equal protection clause. A federal appeals court in Boston made a similar ruling in May, but the moves are considered largely symbolic as the issue is expected to be eventually decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Ruling
Save a life. Adopt a greyhound.
