Jay, I think in reality it depends what type of injunction they are looking for and the motion they make - they could easily ask for the DOJ to be enjoined from taken ANY enforcement action.
If they challenge the validity of the law itself, and the court issues an injunction barring enforcement until such time as a court has reviewed the case, then ALL enforcement should stop. COPA, COPA II - the same thing has happened each time.
With a specific on point ruling (sundance vs reno) saying that this type of action doesn't pass the smell test in a federal court, an injunction should be a fairly easy and clear thing to obtain.
FSC is a great group, but for some reason I catch a wiff of opportunism in the air.
