I predict no TRO, maybe a loss on Motion to Dismiss
Standing issues are fatal, in my view. Likelihood of success on the merits is near zero, as they need to show some LAWFUL activity is impacted, i.e. poker, and some US persons' rights are infringed. (It is highly unlikely that a Judge in New Jersey is going to enjoin the Federal government, especially in favor of an unlicensed, unregulated industry. An unlicensed, unregulated industry is an anathema to New Jersey, why the suit was brought there and not elsewhere in the 3d Ciruit is beyond my understanding. Even Nevada would have been better, as it is eager to get into the online gaming industry and has favorable 1st Amendment Federal judges.
