No, I am no lawyer (thank the heavens) but my instincts (which have gotten me through a lot but of course is not always right) does not believe they will not only not call it a day but will God willing steam ahead.
Look at what is going on with marijuana in the US - despite the fact that it is illegal at the federal level (no dispute there). States are proceeding and allowing for its commerce at their level. Yet, no state nor its merchants within its border have been reigned in yet in defiance of federal law. And I suspect that will not change as the genie is out of the bottle.
I am not saying the above is right nor should continue per se. My point here is that if NJ, DE, NV and PA (in terms of their online poker expansions) are impeded, their defense can easily use the marijuana precedent that if they are being restricted, why are you (DOJ) not doing your job of restricting what is illegal federally within other areas (like pot)?
