true, and upon more further digging, i also found that
On October 23, 2007, the 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the record keeping requirements were facially invalid because they imposed an overbroad burden on legitimate, constitutionally protected speech.[1] However the US DoJ, then under the control of US Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey, asked for, and was granted, an en banc review of the initial decision of the 6th Circuit Court in order to see if the initial decision should be overturned.[2] The 6th Circuit en banc review is currently unscheduled.
So basically, the DOJ has contested the ruling, but is in no hurry for this "en banc" review.
