The executive branch and the DOJ have to enforce the laws on the books. They don't get to pick and choose based on their feelings for each law. The Republican controlled Congress put the UIGEA on the books in 2006 and we're stuck with it.

Harry Reid and the Democratic leadership has been pushing for legalized poker. They can't get the votes to make it happen.
