Default The \"UIGEA is unconstitutional\" argument is a loser

Just saw an article on Gambling 911 trying to compare the porn industry's latest legal victory based on free speech to online gambling.

I really hope people don't start using the UIGEA is unconstitutional argument because that route is a big loser.

Gambling is NOT free speech, it's commerce, and the U.S. Congress is given full power to regulate commerce in the constitution, and that's what the UIGEA does. The UIGEA is completely constitutional. There are plenty of valid arguments to use against the UIGEA and this is NOT one of them.

This is not constitutional issue, it's a legislative one and that's what needs to be focused on.
