New Gambling Law might be in effect

"Congressional leaders are trying to forge a compromise that would allow them to push through legislation banning most forms of Internet gambling, aides said on Thursday.
Top House and Senate lawmakers have been trying to break a logjam that has stalled the Internet gambling legislation by attaching it to any one of a number of must-pass spending bills before the end of the year, aides said. However, they have yet to agree on a final deal.

The bill would prohibit most forms of Internet gambling and make it illegal for banks and credit card companies to make payments to online gambling sites."

An interesting quote, but where is your analysis? You need to add something.

Can national government's regulate internet commerce of any kind? What do national borders mean today? Gambling is profitable and popular. Internet gambling is generating billions which can create a lot of political clout. But the reality is that the internet is beyond federal control in the long run.
