Sadly, not going to happen. House Republicans will never let a bill come to the floor, because Bible-Belt members would raise a hissy fit.
Best way to get U.S. poker would be to mount a legal challenge to the provision of the UIGEA, basing off of recent and historical judicial rulings that poker is a game of skill, not luck, and eliminating online poker from consideration under the 'internet payment processing for gambling' part of UIGEA.
And as always, screw Bill Frist for adding UIGEA to the Port Security Bill back in 2006. Because as we all know, internet gaming comes through large container ships...
