Retroactive laws are prohibited in the USA. Google "ex post facto" to get more info on this or just read Article 1, section 9, clause 3 of the US Constitution.
Someone asked me today if I thought the Feds would be inspecting come 9AM Thurs. With this hearing set, I doubt they will be inspecting on Thurs. Look at the possible outcome. They come to a company, begin inspecting and potentially they stand the chance of having the TRO granted while in the middle of an inspection. In that case, the company could legitimately kick them to the street. Not only would it be a colossal waste of money (and make no mistake, the DOJ has ALWAYS been keen on a cost/benefit analysis in their prosecutorial effort against adult), but potentially they could be forced out of a building with egg on their face. I would have to believe that the DOJ will at the very least wait to see if the TRO is granted before proceeding with inspections.
