Quite apart from the merits of this decision, there's another issue involved. It's dangerous to have laws on the books that you don't intend to enforce, because it leads to selective prosecution. In other words, you break the law every day, and no one cares--until you do something that ticks off the powers that be. Then, all of a sudden, you're charged with breaking a dozen laws you may not have even known existed.
If the law is bad, change the law. Don't just ignore it.
