To me I think if the lawmakers in the US can pass online betting and legalize prescription drugs then they should be have no problem to legalize online poker. Other wise they are being a double standard.

ok i am from europe, and dont really understand the US on this point. ok they banned online poker in the US but why ghost chasing people participating in non- US enterprise?

if they really meant it why not start closing down vegas and atlanta?
