U.S. Ignores Pleas to Specify Internet Gambling

I love how the U.S. government, when it comes to the matter of online poker, just sort of ignores all of that whole, Constitution thing. More over, when it comes to the argument that some have given in response to the Kentucky domain seizure, saying that the UIGEA needs to simply better clarify what is considered “illegal internet gambling,” the courts ignore these pleas.
For nearly three years since the implementation of the UIGEA, the U.S. government has gotten itself into all sorts of trouble, be it with international trade disputes, the constant pushing for bills in favor for online gambling or the appeal of the regulatory bill. Still, rather than take a practical look at the arguments for internet gambling, or simply for the UIGEA to be more specific, the government doesn’t want any part of it.
You would think, with the main argument against online gaming being its immorality, that a bill to keep it from happening in this country, would WANT to be more specific when it comes to what rights it wants to infringe upon.
Perhaps legislators don’t want to clarify the bill because it will clearly show their discrimination against overseas establishments, and against any form of gambling that impedes on the government’s gaming profits. That is to say, not online is gambling legal when it is in a land casino, within the U.S., but there are forms of online gambling that the U.S. considers legal because it benefits us. E.G. Horse racing wagers – the most popular form of wagering in the U.S., with many tracks here – are completely legal online. The national lottery, often played online, is completely legal, although it is certainly more of a gamble than online poker is, as there is no skill involved there.
The government could profit from online poker rooms and casinos if it would merely regulate it. Until it can be seen as a moral activity in the eyes of the majority of the public – oh wait, it is. Get with the program, Congress.
