1. I've been around since the start and I can't recall anyone saying that Section 2257 would destroy this industry. Please cite chapter and verse.

2. The reason it's not being enforced is gamesmanship pure and simple. In October, 2007, DOJ cut off funding for inspections as the result of an adverse ruling that was later vacated by a higher panel of the 6th Circuit. After that wake-up call, DOJ decided to show a lower profile and avoid situations that could create evidence of the repressive and unconstitutional nature of this law.

3. They are fighting tooth and nail to defend this statute now in court.

4. Go ahead, ignore it. Call it a chimera. Three years from now you'll be putting new wings on the houses of the lawyers who know something about this law, and probably some lawyers who don't.
