The complaint filed in Washington state related to the internet gambling ban is available here . I'm a little unclear on the facts, but the basic point in the complaint seems to be that Washington has legal gambling, including poker, and legal internet gambling, such as on horse-racing, but internet poker is banned. I have not looked at the actual statute to confirm whether that is the right interpretation of the law, however. There are a couple interesting bits of note in the complaint. First, one of the claims reads almost like one of Antigua's WTO claims: The IGB violates the U.S. CONST. art. I, §8, cl.3, The Commerce Clause, because it is a protectionist measure designed to discriminate against otherwise legal out-of-state boot camp click usinesses and in favor of in-state businesses. Gambling, internet gambling, and poker are all legal in Washington. Therefore, the obvious purpose of the IGB as it applies to internet poker is to force internet poker players to patronize in-state brick-and-mortar casinos rather than internet poker rooms, which are legal where domiciled and not illegal under federal law, or to switch their internet gambling from poker to horse racing. Such a discriminatory law is virtually per se invalid as a violation of the Commerce Clause. Granholm v. Heald, 544 U.S.

Good morning everyone! Today is jam-packed with goodness. Seriously. I'm hoping to write a bit, though I will probably only get started and then head over to the coffeeshop to meet Squid and our minister. Yep, we're having coffee with the minister of our church. Last sermon she started talking about the Myers-Briggs, so I emailed her to ask, was she an ENFP, perchance? "I should be," she said. "I've turned into an ENFJ out of guilt." Yep. ENFPs want to save the world. It's sort of their major direct mail promotions hing. And when they try to organize and take it all on, they turn inexorably into ENFJs. I'm an INFP, so I do all the saving inside my head. It's far more convenient and a time-saver, to boot. Spent breakfast looking at the Staffnord Extension catalog. I wish I had time to take the class on modernism in art history. Cool! A slideshow every Tuesday night! It starts at 7, however, and I can't imagine making it to Paly anywhere near that time. The whole catalog is decorated with these etchings illustrating Hell. I was particularly amused by the juxtaposition of a depiction of several poor souls burning in eternal flames with the description of the "Learn Interpersonal Skills!" seminar. I must write a bit about This Boy's Life, which is the latest in my "twenty-something men's memoir" series, after I read Dave Eggers' book last summer. I can't help but be a mite irritated by the phenomenon, out of sheer jealousy, of course. Two things.
