Interesting case
A few things to consider
First this is in juridiction of the Federal Govt. If there ever was a proper use of the Interstate commerce clause to base jurisdiction this is it
2. There is much precedent for this. Look at the famous Louisiana Lottery situation and the later Hondourus Lottery situation in the 1800's
3. This form of activity has been viewed as a legitimate form of tax revenue, In which states and the Federal Govt are missing out on
4. This activity is hurting Casino based jobs in areas that have gambling
It is not all a moral question here

Yes it is. This movement was started by the Christian Coalition. They originally went after casinos but had to back off when Bill Bennett was outed for blowing $8 million on the slots. They regrouped and went after internet gambling.
"The bill's chief Senate sponsor was conservative Republican Jon Kyl, who, like Leach, has said he believed Internet gambling was a moral threat. He has called online betting as the Internet version of crack cocaine"....Christian Coalition talking points!
