Dieing Online Gambling Bills
I know this is supposed to be a poker blog but this post like the last is dealing more with Politics than poker. I guess this getting more and more true each day for most people and places involved in poker, especially online poker.
In my last post I presented my case as to why banning online gambling/poker is a bad idea. Now it seems that those in the houses of power maybe seeing that online gambling isn't so evil. Now I don't mean to make it sound like they will be going out and legalizing online gambling any time soon but it seem that the fire to ban online gambling is cooling down and it doesn't look like the first of two bills may be set to die in Committee. The house judiciary committee was debating the bill when complications and problems began to appear in the bill. Instead of scheduling a second debate before the committee broke for Easter they left the bill hanging. Add to the mix that Congress has a short session this year because of the Mid-term elections and the bills future looks very bleak indeed.
There is still the Kyl bill to be debated but with the new atmosphere that starts to be appearing in Washington my hopes are high that it will suffer a similar fate.
That's All, I fold.
