Josh Blackman, a civil law expert at South Texas College of Law-Houston who is not involved in the case, said the county must comply with Rosenthal’s ruling regardless of an appeal to the Supreme Court.
Blackman and another independent expert – David Coale, a partner with the Dallas law firm Lynn Pinker Cox and Hurst – said the 5th Circuit judges who issued the ruling were a “representative cross-section” of the full court, with two Republican appointees and one Obama appointee.
