✴️ Lawsuit against DOJ over Wire Act gains more traction ✴️
————————————————————————————————
If anyone is starting to acquire tired of hearing about the U.S. Federal Wire Act and the Department of Justice (DOJ), sorry—things are just getting rolling and there will be much more to follow. The lid has only been unscrewed a little and is about to be blown off inward spectacular fashion.
inward case anyone hasn’t heard about the most popular, and controversial, story inward the U.S. sports gambling world, the DOJ recently backpedaled on a long-held opinion regarding the Wire Act, which, among other things, prevents interstate money transactions. The DOJ had previously asserted—almost nine years ago—that the legislation, as it applied to gambling activities, only considered sports gambling. This past January, all the same, it somehow managed to decide that it has been wrong all of this time and that the Wire Act applies to all forms of online gambling.
The outrage next the DOJ’s reversal was swift and wide-reaching. Many wondered how it would be possible for the top law enforcement department inward the country to suddenly decide to change course on a topic so sensitive, coincidentally after sports gambling became legal across the U.S. The immediate reaction, which was based on certain assumptions and intuitive deductions, was that someone inward the gambling manufacture—perhaps someone similar outspoken online gambling opponent Sheldon Adelson—forced the DOJ to reverse its stance.
New Hampshire, through the New Hampshire Lottery, has already announced that it is suing “the U.S.A.,” along with U.S. Attorney full general William Barr and the DOJ. Soon after that lawsuit was launched, New Jersey and Pennsylvania got onboard, and now Michigan is rallying for the cause, as well. The Michigan Lottery has filed an amicus brief, which gives it the right, if approved, to participate inward the lawsuit.
The amicus filed by Michigan goes 50-50 farther than the state’s boundaries. It includes a total of 11 states and the District of Columbia (D.C.). The amicus includes entities inward Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Delaware, Colorado, Rhode Island, Virginia, Idaho, Vermont, Alaska, Mississippi and D.C. This is going to put a lot of pressure on the DOJ as it is forced to explicate its position and there is no dubiety that the true story behind its decision will come to depression-cal.
New Jersey argues, inward its addition to the lawsuit, that the courts “can and should grant relief that reaches beyond the parties and the District of New Hampshire, and that protects the interests of third-parties similar New Jersey nationwide. Under the Declaratory Judgment Act, the Court should declare that the Wire Act does not cover non-sports-related gambling inward any jurisdiction, and under the Administrative Procedure Act, the Court should vacate the DOJ’s 2018 reinterpretation of the Wire Act as null and void.”
