What legal questions about internet poker? Is this something new? Its not illegal.

The US government says online poker is is illegal so maybe the OP is worried if he wants to persue a careeer in the FBI, State Department, or something similar.

How can the US govt say its illegal. If I am not mistaken, its a state issue.

Does this fall under the communication act that prevents you from phoning in bets to sports books in vegas?

Several states have passed specific laws against internet gambling. I know that Nevada and Michigan have.

That is the government's rational. Most legal experts however do not believe somebody could actually be succesfully under that law.
