each state has its own weird laws too, but now that the U.S government has drastically changed, they really should get emails or calls from you and hear your opinions

your communications of what you want is what they use in order for them to know what laws you all want and what changes you wish...they are the lawmakers, so keep in touch with them, keep them clearly informed

as for Kentucky I'm not sure, but some states are way ahead than others

I think most laws that messed up our nati... [ More ]

allowed Kentuckians to gamble

Not coerced. Not against their will. Meaning something they wanted to do.

Somehow gambling is oh so w r o n g ... unless bureaucrats can get their filthy mitts on the proceeds.

Good ruling by the court.

Kentucky blocked from seizing gambling domain names

Lottery Post — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 21:47:15 GMT

Kentucky may not seize 141 online casinos' Internet domain names in an attempt to block them from operating within the state's borders, a three-judge appeals panel ruled.

In a 2-1 opinion Tuesday, the Kentucky Court of Appeals panel said an Internet domain name is not a gambling device. That left the Franklin County Circuit Court without jurisdiction in the matter.
