A bunch of un-elected bureaucrats deciding what we can and cannot do.

I’ll bet they don’t say that Powerball is illegal...if the State does it, it’s probably okay.

Where in the Constitution is the authority given to the feds to interfere in this matter?

It’s too bad the Justice Dept doesn’t have anything more important to focus on ...

This is a political decision - Sheldon Adelson gave us a ton of money and this is what he wants.

Good. Gambling is illegal immigration for the flow of money.

What’s the “juice” then.

That’s one way to break an addiction.
Thank you DOJ.

When the bandwidth of online gambling takes up bandwidth that online stock trading wants, something must be done!

Timely, truly another demonstration of our effective law enforcement. After something is completely accepted and commodified Uncle Scam pipes up for his cut.
Can we just drop the ridiculous premise that “conservatives” support this type of garbage because of a “law and order” bent.
I know most people here get it, but there are still too many Jeeeeff Sessions types for my freedom to exist in comfort.

"Whats the 'juice' then. "
Money voluntarily paid by a customer to the provider of a desired service.
Not at all like a tax which is involuntarily paid at the point of a gun. Lots and lots of guns, actually.

Commerce clause of course.To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
It says to regulate, not to outlaw.
It is absurd to think that the Federal Government was given the power to outlaw something that foreign Nations do. Logically, then, it cannot outlaw what the States do either based upon this clause.

The DOJ wasn’t getting a cut so they’re banning it.
