Well, my 2 cents is that it got through the committee that put it forth to begin with, and now the House debates begin. Not sure how long it will be before House actually votes on it, although I had read somewhere before that it could be 1-2 months. Hopefully, the lobbyists come out full force (i.e., big tough Wall Street guys). I wasn’t happy to see the NFL and Major League Baseball side with the ingredients of the bill, however. Also, I wasn’t happy to see online Poker singled-out either.
On a positive note, as Yorktown alluded to, it appears that this bill is now on its own, and will be treated and voted on as a standalone entity. That is something that should help our cause a bit.
