While the American Bar Association has pinned United States Supreme Court nominee as a centrist in terms of politics, it is still to early to tell how Sonia Sotomayor will fair in the long run. More important than anything else among her qualities, however, is how she stands on the issues when it comes to online casinos and United States gambling laws. Sotomayor has a charmingly up-by-her-own-bootstraps quintessential American story and that will appeal to many people. But her positions on abortion and other wedge issues like gun control are going to make her an automatic enemy of Republicans across the nation.As far as online casino operations and players are concerned, all they want to know about is how she feels about the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act and how she will respond to the more recent efforts to change the ways that online casinos are treated within the United States. She has also worked in the past in a private practice working on intellectual property rights cases.

Her duty in that era of her formidable career was to serve in the best interests of her clients and preserve their legal property and intangible assets. She may harbor sentiments for the National Football League, one of the arch enemies of the casino industry and that may not bode well for the gambling business in the future, but it is still too early to call just exactly what sort of judgment she will bring to the Supreme Court. She may come down hard on sports betting sites in the future because of her ties to the NFL or she may demonstrate extreme calm and objectivity.
