Poker Bill Alive
CJ (who I think is that CJ) notes that the ban on online gambling is rearing its ugly head again:
Over the past 24 hours, there have been a series of reports telling us that the dreaded internet gambling bill is both alive and dead. In recent weeks, we’ve reported that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) had hoped to sneak the gambling bill into the massive Defense Department 2007 Appropriations Bill.
That bill has now passed through the conference committee, but it doesn’t seem to be headed for guaranteed passage, nor is it clear that the gambling bill will ever be attached. Currently, House Republican leaders are holding up the bill hoping to add unrelated bills on immigration and court security.

We have that in Washington. I don’t think they can enforce it.

Hey, that is me 🙂 Thanks for the mention. And, yeah, it’s Armageddon for online poker.
I hate Bill Frist.
