Default Re: EU Goes To DC, Presses Lawmakers

D$D, Internet gambling is a process that involves interstate commerce and communications. Mr. Lee Rouso has already filed litigation challenging the State of Washington's ban of online gambling to violate the commerce clause of the US constitution. If Congress passes a law to fully comply with the WTO decision that law would have to permit US citizens at access and send money to foreign online gambling sites. States would be bound to follow that law under the Supremacy clause of the US constitution, which is still enforced by federal courts. Of course the states are bound to honor the WTO treaty and decisions. Insurance and the practice of law usually do not involve interstate commerce. The power of the federal government to regulate them is uncertain, especially the practice of law.
