Why is this thread lost in the weeds? There is a difference between LETTER of the law and INTENT of the law. If the GW is supposed to carry out the LETTER of the law, then that is what he is supposed to do. However, the GW will have to defend that action in court regarding what parts of the law he enforced and the parts he did not enforce and why. If the AG is supposed to review the case and recommend how to proceed based on the information provided and weigh that against the INTENT, which sounds like what was done, then the case should proceed as the AG recommended.
With that, I am with Bucky and the INTENT of the law should be the main focus with the parts of the LETTER of the law that the GW determined he would not enforce.
