"It's a side point anyway. I really don't see this guy, a well-respected retired judge with a generous pension, accepting the position of Attorney General with a year left in Bush's term just so he can shut down some porn shops. I can't see online gambling being high on his list of priorities."

I pretty much agree with this. There is just so much to do to turn the DO"Just Us" back into a DOJustice, that online gambling will not be a priority.

But thats not to say it wont get some attention; certainly the regs will finally get written. Though with some luck an old time conservative like this one may be inclined to order simple regs that look good but in reality accomplish little and keep the banks happy. We can hope anyway.

But Skall, if the regs are meaningless then how does an online poker player obtain standing to litigate against the UIGEA and the regs? I just am not satisfied with the iMEGA brief and I worry that they will lose due to lack of standing. I read their recent brief and am still dubious about standing. Perhaps if they had named one member like Party Poker, then I would feel better.
