Your last statement is closer to the real situation, but you make it sound like it's certain that you will be called upon to defend the legality of your actions. But I'm not aware of any evidence showing that is true. And, even if it were true in the past, it seems that the DOJ believes that was based on a misinterpretation of the law.
