Texas Judge Strikes Down 'Death Star' Bill as Unconstitutional

A Texas judge has ruled that a law championed by Republican Governor Greg Abbott, which prevented cities from passing certain local ordinances, is unconstitutional. The law, known as "the law that kills," limited the power of Democrat-led cities and even eliminated ordinances that mandated water breaks for construction workers. The judge's decision came in response to a lawsuit from the city of Houston, and the Office of the Attorney General has appealed the ruling. Critics argue that the law infringes on the rights of Texans and cities.
