A state appeals court rejected Lee Rousso's arguments that a 2006 law that forbids Internet gambling in the state violates the clause of the U.S. Constitution that gives the federal government the right to regulate interstate commerce.

The unanimous decision by three judges of division I of the appeals court says that Rousso would have to show that policing Internet poker imposes excessive burdens and not worth the state's commitment to regulating gaming.

Rousso said appeals court rejected many of the state's arguments in the case, so he is leaning in favor of taking the case to the state Supreme Court.

One major factor that will be necessary to sway the odds in the favor of the poker industry is the voices of the masses. It is more important than ever that we get involved, especially by letting members of Congress—and President Obama—know how we feel. The Poker Players Alliance provides easy access to governmental representatives. Visit Poker Players Alliance Home for more information.

Speak up. :dirol

Notorious for having some of the toughest anti-Internet gambling laws in the United States, but at the same time an active promoter of land gambling expansion, the state of Washington presents a very confusing moral 😁

However the push for legalizing and regulating the industry is now stronger than ever!! 😁
