No. The DoJ will continue its actions.
There are
two problems with the status quo. You addressed only one. On that one point, Congress is less likely to push a bill implementing a federal ban on online poker in opt out states, and they would certainly be less likely to make playing poker in opt out states a federal crime than they would were they addressing this nationwide.
The other point -- the one about U.S. based sites wanting to participate -- would now work on our favor, as states could achieve that by opting in.

I've already explained my dissatisfaction in regard to the lack of a legal push and not every form of positive legislation will push poker on Utah. I have also explained quite clearly other reasons why I am 'turned off to the PPA'.
Explain why no site has sought a declaratory judgement ruling that online poker is not covered by the Wire Act.
PPA is on record as being prepared to join such a suit. Prospective player plaintiffs have even posted here stating that they were prepped for the suit and were ready to go.
Perhaps it's not the slam dunk you seem to think it would be. Then again, you continually underestimate our opponents.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your opinions on the matter. I will keep your thoughts in mind as we proceed forward in this fight.
