Which is a good and necessary thing. You need to get such a thing shut down in order to challenge it in court. Without a court challenge, and absent any specific legislation by Congress or the various states, the Justice Department's opinion that online gambling is illegal has nothing more to it than my opinion that Shana Hiatt has a nice ass.
The wire act doesn't specifically say anything about internet poker. The Justice department thinks it should cover internet poker. Other people disagree. The only way to get that resolved is to go in front of a judge. To do that you need government action against online gambling.
