The problem is that all the opponents of online gaming are ignoring this decision and continuing to talk as if it never happened.
Also, the decision didn’t get picked up by the newsmedia in this context because it was made in another context.
Certainly the DOJ is not going to abandon his tactics of intimidation because of it. They are still wildly successful – look at all the advertising venues we lost.
But eventually it will be used in opinions issued in congress, when that ball starts rolling again. It will take the wind out of the current arguments against online gambling, or at least out of the the legal base for them.
That’s my 2 cents.
