Well, this is the one and only point on which I habitually disagree with the professor.
I still don’t think it will pass, even though I, too, think it is definitely more likely this year than in previous ones.
There are simply too many people gambling online, and this year the Indian groups, who usualy support these bills, are opposed. The Indian groups have great clout, and Goodlatte assumed they would be on his side..
Contrary to the scenario painted here, the Indian groups have decided that they want to compete online as is, rather than wait around for this legal-illegal-legal nonsense to happen.
Yes, Abrahms is a slap in the face (especially since he was ours too) but the Indian development is great for us.
I agree on the right wing having become a great liability to the basic freedoms in this country though, and that is why I am closer to agreeing with the professor this time than ever before. The political climate is dangerous these days.
