In my field, we call this 'a day that ends in Y'.

Yet another bit of theater for the masses as the rich do whatever they want and continually get away with it.

Because the entire game is rigged. That law is just for show. They had no intention of actually using it.

Until they want to use it to go after someone they don't like.... then it will suddenly become very relevant.
