Default Re: IF Doyle got jailed? (hypothetical question)

in other words, they dont have to arrest everybody who breaks the law, but they are not supposed to use that discretion as a PR play.

Good point, tangled. The thing is, there will probably be a few token arrests, but I doubt this will happen on any large scale. Too many arrests and trials lead to too much public scrutiny, and also increases the very small chance that an entity like the supreme court or the WTO takes decisive action. I think they just want this weak bill to wreak havoc on the poker world without them having to do much about it. They've put up an orange traffic cone in our parking space, but overly agressive enforcement could backfire.
