Default Re: Read the brief, nice background \"facts\" , but procedural quagmire

Actually I was speculating about the lawsuit eventually succeeding on it merits; not about the TRO. I don't understand the purpose of the TRO. The regulations are not even written and the DOJ is not enforcing the UIGEA. Yes it does have a chilling affect, but why a TRO for that reason. Since I don't think that the iMEGA can establish the irreparable harm if a TRO is not issued, I agree with the low odds for it.
However, it's different for the actual final relief sought in iMEGA's petition. You might want to read some of the articles at Majorwager.com or gambling911 that site some opinions of legal experts. They opine that the UIGEA raises serious constitutional issues. However, iMEGA might have problems with such issues as standing and ripeness to get to the actual merits.
