Audioking,
To date, the public awareness is nil. And being buried behind the Ports Bill, which will get lots of media attention, will barely attract attention for us, IMO.
I don’t see how their pulling the plug helps them or us at all. Once the bill is signed and is law, it makes it irrefutable and enforceable, unless someone challenges it in the courts. And as well all know, the Courts are ultra-conservative (2 recent Bush nominees). There is no way it gets reversed UNTIL the government decides to introduce legislantion to “legalize”. And at that point, they are handing the ball over to the Land casinos. It’ll be a couple of years before we see this happen.
In the interim, the big public companies lose big time, we lose out big time, and the American public gets screwed.
Our only savior would have been for these big companies to spend millions of dollars to lobby the right people. They didn’t; hence, game, set, and match.
