It probably won’t even get to them.

All the Texas gimmick did was keep the law from being blocked before it became active. That is… it didn’t “dodge constitutional review. It just delayed it. As soon as there were some actual lawsuits under that law, Roe would have effectively negated it (just as existing circuit precedent will keep any gun shop in CA from being impacted by this one)

Of course… Dobbs makes that less likely - but CA has no such advantage
