Actually, it would be. Federal law trumps state law. For instance, some states had that abortion was illegal on their books. However, federal law, via the Supreme Court, said that abortion is legal. Thus, the states must recognize the law.
How to get the laws in your favor?
Lobby, lobby and lobby some more.
Well that’s true federal law usually gets all the states on the same page and leaves the particulars up to the states (like with horse track betting). I would imagine any federal legislation to legalize internet gambling would be similar.
Anyway it’s all a bunch of bunk, when the Republicans reference the Bush tax cuts one of their talking points is something to the effect “no one knows how to better spend their own money that the person earning it”.
So if someone wants to play a few online games let them. The only policy that will suit everyone is to ban cash advances (creditcards) and let the people play with money they actually have.
