Experts FRANK but divided on new Internet Gambling bill passing
There seems to be a general feeling that this new Internet gambling bill, HR 2046, doesn’t have much chance of passing. I think this and other controversial bills have a pretty good chance of becoming law. The Senate voted just the other day to deny funding the war in Iraq without setting a time limit for troop withdrawal.
The President has said this is unacceptable and he will veto this measure. At this point, the political process kicks in. Congress will agree to a more fluid date on the troop withdrawal in exchange for getting the President to sign some formerly controversial items. HR 2046 may actually become an attachment to this compromise legislation and therefore, a footnote in a much larger picture.
