I also wonder if Elena Kagan will surface as a topic. Although I admit a) she has a very loose connection to poker, and b) it's still early to even speculate at what effect she could have, assuming she gets confirmed.

IMO, it's similar to those that hoped Obama would help get the UIGEA repealed because he's played poker.

Be interested to hear their take on this, if only because since this whole situation is in my wheelhouse...and we haven't had proper UB rage lately.

Well, we know what the entire episode is going to be about then (if Gary has anything to do with what goes in the podcast).
