For all of you who would like to believe that this action is a railroad job by the GOP, let me remind you of this FACT:
Democrats approved the House version 115-76.
One more FACT:
The Senate Committee that recommended this bill for passage was made up of almost half Democrats. The Bill passed Committee UNANIMOUSLY. On that committe was Jack Reed (D - RI), one of the most liberal members of the Senate. He enthusiastically endorsed it.
Of course social conservatives want to ban gambling, but so do big-government, nanny-state liberals.
