From a strictly operational perspective:
The only concern that I had with that request was with the v4 address
blocking. That ought to be rethought in the grand scheme of things i.e. v4
exhaustion. There's a reasonable case to make regarding not tainting hosts
or specific blocks in this manner.
Not only do we create less usable v4 address space, if these guys
had a clue, and what ever you think of them with $$ envolved clue will
be found... they will just add more IP's from diffrent block, further
'wasting' IP space.

Not withstanding the legality of such an order, how would one
operationally enforce that order? Does this order force carriers into
transparent proxy so that L7 filtering can be done? Is the carrier also
required to go through geolocator matching any given IP address with
'Minnesota' so

The order has a list of IP addresses, so I expect the ISPs will just
block those IPs in routers somewhere.
Since offshore online gambling is equally illegal everywhere in the
U.S., the ISPs have

Who knows. It's hardly the first government attempt to block illegal

What a pile of garbage. I would definitely get a legal review of a
request like that before blocking any of my customer's traffic.
