About LinkBacksThe Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia yesterday said the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) isn't constitutionally vague and doesn't infringe on gamblers' rights.
In 2007, The Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association (iMEGA) sued the U.S. Attorney General, Federal Reserve System in 2007 in an effort to void the law.
From Bloomberg:
The law “clearly provides a person of ordinary intelligence with adequate notice of the conduct that it prohibits,” the judges wrote.

Well...
Much as I think banning online gambling is idiotic - prohibition of established vices just doesn't work - I have to say that I do agree with the judges in this case: stupid though it may be, UIGEA is fairly clear about what is being banned. And obviously it is for judges to interpret the laws, not make them. So one more black mark for George Dubya and that sinister coalition of Vegas casinos and Christian right lobbyists.
