Seven bills are being marked up today, so it's possible that HR 2267, which will license and regulate Internet gambling will not be done today. It currently appears third on the list, but that doesn't mean they'll take up the bills in order.

There are 70 members on the Committee, but the last time a bill relevant to Internet gambling was voted on in markup (HR 5767), it lost by a vote of 32-32.

A tie is no good in politics apparently.

Also, for those who have Fox Business, Greg Raymer will be on around 10:30am ET.

33-31 ftw (what im hoping for)

Starting with the 2nd bill on the list, HR 4868

its 10:30 est, i just tuned in. did i miss anything and do you guys know how long i should expect to listen to this for?

It may be a while before HR 2267 comes up for discussion.

I'll amend the title of the thread when they discuss the bill in question.

Thanks for the link

Like an idiot, Ive been listening for the last half hour or so. Im amazed anything gets done.

These reps cant seem to agree on anything

Me too

These people are really running the show? Jesus.

not this bill

Just announced 30-45mins more of debate on current bill then lunch. Feel free to tune out until at least 2pmET.

btw: I'd like that guy (as far as I can tell it's always the same guy) who keeps asking for a recorded vote to disappear forever - the one they did was 20-5. I want the chair to move that he be declared votenit of all time.

I think the votenit was the "gentleman from Georgia", or some other deep south state. He is the reason why this **** will take 10x longer than it should.
