Finally, we may get some resolution to Kentucky’s ongoing attempts to seize 141 internationally owned Internet poker domain names. Or not. Read about it at CAP News.
You have to wonder how all the Kentucky residents feel about taxpayer money paying for the legal fees involved ? I’m willing to bet, that whoever loses this State Supreme Court appeal, will take it to the next level – Federal Supreme Court. That would actually bring some decent attention to this issue, on a national level. You have to remember that initially this entire fiasco was hatched while Bush was in office. With Obama in now, the tide may have changed a bit, although the Supreme Court has remained equally balanced (politically speaking), since Obama took office. It will be interesting to see how this all unfolds.
Going out on a limb here, but I think that if Kentucky loses (and I think it will), then they’ll try to take the case to U.S. Supreme Court, but I doubt that the Supreme Court would even hear it, since it so clearly goes against the state’s legal jurisdiction. It’s a pretty silly case really, and the Supreme Court has bigger fish to fry.
I’m also curious what Kentucky residents think of this. You never hear that angle in the news stories; I wonder just how aware the average Kentucky resident is that this is even happening (I don’t think the case has gotten much attention outside of the online casino world). Any Kentucky residents out there at the CAP Forum who can fill us in?

Yeah, that is a good point. Their docket is pretty full, and they don’t have time for drivel. Nevertheless, absolutely nothing would surprise me in this industry any more
