So currently, there are no regulations and the statute is unenforceable.

At a minimum, this buys people more time to get their shit in order. At best, this won't be a priority for the new AG and it will sit there and collect dust for a long time.
I also wanted to add....that no 2257 inspection was EVER DONE until the George W Bush administration....even though the law was written in 1988.

This was obviously only a priority for an administration with strong political ties to the fundamentalist religious community. Neither President Clinton, nor George H.W. Bush saw fit to expend government resources to harass pornographers.

Unless something unexpected like another Tracy Lords happened and got national media attention, logic would lead me to believe that the Obama administration won't expend government resources to harass us either.
