Any legal activity can be halted with this type of bill passage. The house allowed that bullshit online gaming verbage onto a bill that was guaranteed to be passed (port security).

As for chargebacks at 80%.. that is just ridiculous (source?). Even if it was true, that wouldn't cause the government to put this bill into a homeland security bill.

If that is the case, why is this Nevada Congresswoman the only one who stood up to this bill the other day when it passed through?

If online gambling is outlawed then NOBODY (U.S.) stands a chance to profit from it.. and if you don't think that the B&M casino's want a piece of the pie, you are crazy. Not only do they want a piece, but if they were allowed to actually invest their money into online gaming sites, they would be running shit like diahrea.
