The gambling guys are looking at the COPA ruling to knock out the gambling bans.

Gambling Trade Group Looks to COPA Rulings
As Brennan pointed out, both laws specifically target activities and behavior on the Internet. "And only for the reason that it is on the Internet," he said. "You would not imagine laws being written attacking civil liberties in the offline world in a similar matter.

"All we have to do is look at the fact that for the gaming industry, gambling is legal in 48 of the 50 states to one degree or another. But now you have a federal law targeting Internet gaming and the only real reason is to appeal to a particular voting block, which is ultra-conservatives."
