Speaking of united fronts, it's pretty cool how members of the poker community rallied around Lawrence DiCristina's case in NY, and in his appeal to the US Supreme Court after he passed up a plea deal.

Here is a document filed in the appeal: [URL="http://sblog.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/00020564.pdf"]PPA Amicus Brief[/URL]

It's an interesting read for those who wonder how the skill\chance argument is presented in US courts.

I realize Adelson is the chipleader in the fight against online poker, but every time a judge rules in favor of poker is step forward in public relations for us in my opinion. Even if Adelson wins the battle, it's going to be a long war, like it is for most grassroots efforts. I don't expect online poker to be fully available in [I]Texas[/I] any time soon, and certainly not while [URL="http://stopinternetgambling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Perry-Letter-3.24.14.pdf"]Rick Perry[/URL] is governor, but I believe it will eventually happen.

(Shakes fist in Adelson's general direction. Or better yet: :thefinger)
