Re: November 14th: House Judiciary Committee Hearing Thread
Actually, Skall I was going to suggest asking Ms. Hanaway if she has ever heard of the In Re MasterCard case and if so does she feel that the DOJ is bound to honor its precedence. Also, to the best of my knowledge, the E.D. position that the Wire Act covers all online gambling is a recommendation by the federal magistrate to the judge in the BetOnSports case and not a ruling by the district court judge in that case. The motion to dismiss filed by Mr. Kaplan's attorneys requested dismissal of charges of operating an online casino. I do not think that the judge has ruled on any part of that motion. You might want to check this out. I would think that if Ms. Hanaway misrepresents a view of a federal magistrate for a decision or view of the court, it would be interesting to say the least.
