GMen Go After Online Gambling

Today the Feds went after online gambling by arresting a major British operator. They are emboldened by the recent passing of a House bill that, as reported by the Washington Post,
would prohibit most forms of Internet gambling and make it illegal for banks and credit card companies to make payments to online gambling sites.
It is scary that Congress is intent on passing a law that regulates what your credit cards can pay for. This is a MAJOR intrusion into civil liberties. What next, my credit card can't pay for lap dances? Or pot in Amsterdam? Or sex toys? Give them this, and we give them way too much.
