Still on the list, so it ain’t over til it’s over, but I’ll be the 1st one to thank Dominique for her words of wisdom, if we get around this.
My take on what’s going on:
– BetOnSports not showing up to court is a bold statement. My guess
is it was on the advisement of their attorneys, who are adept at
international extradition laws. Their response was a good one for us.
– The noted “holds” on this legislation (from some notables, including
Republican Senators) is going to make it very hard to move this in a
15-day period.
– The Republican party (more in favor of this legislation than the Dems
currently) are in jeopardy of losing some elections, and potentially
losing majority in the Senate. This means that we can be rest
assured that they DEFINITELY will be going home to campaign for
the election (of course, only 1/3 of them are up for re-election this
year, given the 6-year-terms).
All in all, I’d say things look good for us in the short-term (this year), but before I give Dominique a big hug, I want to be definitively sure. As I’m sure you can tell from prior posts, I DO NOT TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT, and anything is still within the realm of possibility.
