Yes, it's a narrow victory. But still, the FBI couldn't just shop for an agreeable judge. If they want a national investigation, his ruling means that they'd need a warrant from a federal judge. Which, I'm guessing, is harder to get. On the other hand, we know that the NSA does whatever it wants. And parallel construction. So truly a narrow victory. Arguably illusory.
