Internet Gambling Debate Low Priority for Senate
Don't expect the US Senate to quickly follow the lead of the House in approving the internet gambling bill as it is not a top priority for Senate leaders on Capitol Hill.
The new bill makes it unlawful to use credit cards to pay for online gambling transactions. It is part of an effort to put a stop to the growing popularity of online gambling. Supporters of the bill say it has caused numerous problems, including huge financial losses and addictions to gambling.
Opponents say its a mistake to try to regulate the industry, noting that prohibition didn't work for alcohol and won't work for gambling. They're also unhappy that it carves out exceptions for horse racing and lotteries.
