Tonight at the end of the hearing Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner (while asking a question of one of the men, an attorney, that was standing at the public speakers podium) explained how the HB2 bill is unconstitutional due to Section 2 of the bill.

And I heard that earlier tonight Wendy Davis was on Maddow's show and she said that a lawsuit will be filed against HB2 - I didn't see the segment but my guess is that it's probably because the bill is unconstitutional.

That's all I know.
