It wont pass. Its ***. They want to force gamblers to go to the american casions on the ground cuz they can tax the crap out of them and bring in a ton of revenue locally, state, and federally... And no person in there right mind would set up a online gambling site on U.S. soil to compete with the other online rooms, because American buissness taxes are so damn high... Its all about the tax revenue. The municiplaities and states with casino revenue want more, the powerfull select group that runs and operates the casinos lobby to have the ban in place... the people who don't gamble look down on people who do, just tell them all the money is going to fund terrorist organizations and scare them into supporting your agenda... I really dont see this ban getting lifted... It doesnt help that the main supporter and advocate is Barney Frank either.
