House Committee Discuss Internet Gambling

Darren Rovell of ESPN reports on the House Judiciary Committee hearings on Internet Gambling and the "merits of the latest anti-online gambling bill that is attempting to make its way through the House."

Cause for much alarm among House members are the "hundreds of millions of dollars in online bets".

Two things were clear from the committee's day-long examination of the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act on Wednesday:

• Representatives are divided on issues such as prosecution vs. taxation;

• Even if prosecution is ultimately chosen, any laws created by the act might not be enforceable.
