Another observation, no one votes against the horse industry in Kentucky. Maybe that is why the action took place here instead of another state with gambling.

A US citizen orders pot from Amsterdam ( where it is legal, where the legit business pays taxes, etc...).
The US citizen knows he is breaking laws ( a few ) .
At a point, the US evaluates that a lot of pot comes in from those coffee shop.
What do they do ?
- Go to Amsterdam and close them down ( equivalent at what has been done here )
or
- Get the Customs office to prevent the entry ( the US did that by preventing the use of credit card for gambling )
and/or
- Arrest their citizen for breaking the law
If KY wants to prevent online gambling, they have the technology...
Meanwhile, this should serve as a serious warning to all non-us citizens/corp to stay away from any entity that is related to the USA ( billing, hosting, corporations, ...).
And register your domain name in other " flavors " ( .ca, .fr, etc .... ).
