    Because the assault on the poker sites is political, it has nothing to do with the law. Poker sites are much more popular, have more money behind them, and support from lobbyists and Congressmen alike. Some jack-off looking to make a name for himself decided to make it his personal mission to attack online poker, and here we are.

    One more point - Not ALL poker sites were shut down. Only 4, I believe. Maybe others will soon fall? I don't know.
