RALEIGH, N.C. — A federal judge ruled Friday that two students and an employee must be allowed to use restrooms matching their gender identity at University of North Carolina campuses, and he said they have a strong chance of proving the state's bathroom-access measure violates federal law.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Schroeder temporarily blocked the University of North Carolina from making the three plaintiffs follow the restroom provision of the so-called HB2 law as the larger case makes its way to trial in November. His final decision on the law won't come until after trial.

That didn't take long.

I remain cautiously optimistic on this issue.

1. Excellent!

HB2 should never have been passed in the first place.

This state needs to lose its Republicans.

2. This needs to get overturned in SCOTUS ASAP.
