but it doesn't seem to have any teeth.

A bill passed in congress tonight (port security) that had some internet gambling language tacked on to it this afternoon. From what I gather, it restricts transactions with gambling operators and mandates ISPs remove gambling sites and links to gambling sites once notified by the FED.

Apparently there is no actual language saying playing poker online is illegal. I haven't read it, I'll take the others' word for it. Lots of discussion in the 2+2 Legislation forum.
