Why was the federal one never struck down in court? Didn't it just quietly expire because of a built in expiration date?

Pardon me for not googling this right now, I'm so pissed off, I can barely see to type this!

I was SO proud of Illinois for passing this ban and J.B. for signing it into law. This news makes me absolutely livid!
