Default Re: The Future of Online Poker for \"Danger States\"

TE, a victory by the WTO pressure could not be reversed unless the US withdraws from the WTO treaty obligations. A victory, in the court of last resort, by iMEGA winning its case could only be reversed by a constitution amendment.
But passage of even Rep. Wexler's bills could be reversed by another law, but I doubt that will happen.
We need the political strength in case the WTO wimps out and the present court case fail to help.
Next year, the PPA needs to get it political act in full gear and prepare to file its own litigation, if the UIGEA is not reversed and the present regs are adopted. The good news is that the PPA has plenty of time to prepare for both a political and legal battle. Even the regs will likely take close to another year to be finalized and adopted. Thus, the present difficulties of the PPA do not concern me, but their activity next year will be important; unless the WTO or litigation solves the online poker problems in US.
