I mean I have seen enough exaggeration on DU to be skeptical. Why can't the federal government still enforce their regulations while they are not enforcing the absolute prohibition that comes from the federal end? Sometimes it appears the President cannot win for losing. People are just using this to find another "betrayal" is my default position on DU outrages. If the POTUS does a good thing, they find a way to make it a bad thing, just like Republicans (could lower gas prices be a bad thing? Is it worth getting rid of DADT if it's not done by executive order? Inherent here is, should the Administration prosecute under federal laws as a thing better to do than to leave off prosecuting them but still go after failures in regulations?).
