Washington State has a date in court with Lee Rousso, a poker playing attorney who is challenging the constitutionality of the state's ban on online poker.
In March 2006, Washington State passed a law that put online gambling in the same class of crime as child porn or illegal abortions. This was mainly a revenue-driven exercise as the state was more concerned about protecting their own in-state gambling operations than protecting anybody.
Rousso launched his challenge lasy July and after months of the usual time-wasting that can only happen in a courtroom, he finally has a court date set for April 25.
