Lots of wishful thinking in this thread...
For a bill to become a law, lots of things need to fall in place. This bill is "stuck in committee" ... I think the article was talking about this bill.... H.R. 1174: Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection, and Enforcement Act (GovTrack.us)
For those that have no idea what stuck in committee means, this might help .... some classic Schoolhouse Rock

--- I literally LOL'd at this youtube comment
"Why did they cut this vid?!?
They skipped the part about the Lobbyists, the political opportunists and the under-the-table exchange of money... That's the best part!!"

I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill, and I got as far as Capitol Hill. Well, now I'm stuck in committee and I'll sit here and wait while a few key Congressmen discuss and debate whether they should let me be a law. How I hope and pray that they will, but today I am still just a bill.
Next week, Conjunction Junction, what's your function?
