i like this berkley ammendment....that wants to ban all internet gambling.

she's just using that tactic to shoot the bill down. she's bluffing

they'd have to rewrite the whole bill all over. (i think?)

 

[AR182]

she's prooving that goodblatt is in the the pocket of horse racing associations.

[bjfinste]

Are they voting just on adding the Berkley amendment to the bill, or on the bill as a whole?

Jack. Are you receiving any feedback from the offshore books on
"just in case" contingency plans? I know it's early. But::: I'm sure they are watching this.
