Default Re: Will the U.S. try to stop online gambling

Although the US Attorney Generals Office publicly disagrees with this interpretation the only recourse left is to appeal the relevant 5th Court decision to the US Supreme Court (which they have declined to do) or for the US Congress to either modify the current statute or write new laws specifically with internet gambling as it's focus (which they have attempted to pass the last two sessions of Congress).

....or wait for a nice set of facts (involving allegations of money laundering, drugs, terrorism, etc) in any of the 11 other circuits (who don't have to follow the 5th Circuit's ruling- the 5th circuit encompasses TX, LA and MS) and bring a case there hoping for a more favorable interpretation.
