Its a law. They're enforcing it, right? So agitate to get the law changed.

But coming down on law enforcement for doing their job? That's a little harsh.

There are lots of laws that are going unenforced that have had far more severe consequences to this country than allowing people to play a game of skill for money.

So coming down on the DOJ for selective enforcement is absolutely appropriate.

Could be. Assume it is so. There's such a thing as low-hanging fruit. These web sites were flaunting the law in the most public way possible in this age of technology. And it only took paperwork to stop it.
