So I'm not sure why these guys are suing the Government over it.....

Its the credit card verification bit that got me - think about what happened to the AVS's
It's actually not the people fighting it that is bringing it back up it is the government. This law was pass a long time ago and twice the supreme court has upheld the injuction that stops it from being enforced. The government is now heading back into court to fight that and try to get the injunctions lifted so they can enforce it.

I doubt they will win, that law had so many flaws in it that so far every judge that has seen it says it goes to far, but they will keep trying. I think they are hoping it ends up before the now more conservative supreme court.
