Default Re: The already enjoined Child Porn Act versus the UIGE Act., analogous ?

I live in Missouri. Missouri case law has ruled that poker is a game of skill. Thus, I can legally play online poker for money. But the UIGEA (but for Epassporte) is impinging on my right to play online poker under the First Amendment because it makes it illegal for businesses to move my money for me.
While the govt. has some legitimate interest in restricting my rights, the UIGEA is not narrowly designed to protect these interests.
I agree with Milton that an affected individual or business would help the standing issue, but I do not know much about standing issues.
