   Should be good to watch. The fact that they are having this meeting on a wednesday morning … and then actually moved it up … suggest they are being good and serious about this bill. my pre-game guess says that it will move to the next stage with little problem … though I’m not sure if this is the “mark=up” or this will be the hearing that sends it to be worked on for mark-up.

   Either way, since this bill sets up the tax and regulatory system, it seems an essential part for whatever bill eventually does move forward post-June 1. You’ll notice Barney Frank’s bill — the “companion” legislation — is seemingly going nowhere.

   never mind. i think my Frank insinuation could be totally wrong … especially as he will be there as part of the hearing. I’ll just be quiet now and watch what really happens.

   It looks like it got moved up because Barney has a markup at 10am today.

   i am loving this hearing. so much good stuff being said. they are preaching the poker line … except for the part that they keep referring to “illegal” offshore gambling. PPA and friends I know would prefer that not be used.

   we are gonna get this through, i can tell … but they will need another bill (or petition that works) that distinguishes poker from the illegal stuff.

    you mean you haven’t been following my twitter coverage? egad!

    it’s going great … Scott Matusow said he’s recording the video and will have it for all to watch later.

    His site has been great for the video. enjoying watching it with him, one of his MakePokerLegal guys and lacey (jones, i presume). however, the others in the chatbox make the lowest order of 2+2 poster seem highly evolved.

    Why go on a rant about something that is completely IRRELEVANT to the topic Mr. N? Thanks for wasting a few mins.

    Twitter’s running into some difficulty at the moment, but seen most of what you’ve said there.
