US Senator Jon Kyl and Representative Spencer Bachus asked the Treasury to ignore a request by 17 fellow Congressmen to delay implementation of the UIGEA online casino ban. The UIGEA rules are scheduled to take effect December 1st, but lawmakers had banded together to ask that legal remedies that might make the matter moot be given another year to play out.Kyl and Bachus are noted opponents of all forms of gambling. Kyl has led the fights to uphold disingenuous laws illegalizing sports betting, thereby serving the powerful NFL lobby, while Bachus misquoted a survey to astonishingly claim a quarter of teens who try online gambling commit suicide.
The two downplay the request by Barney Frank and 16 other members of the House Financial Services Committee to suspend the online casino ban implementation, spinning it so that they emphasize the 17 are of a committee of 71. They make no such note that they are an even smaller number of two.
"Delaying the compliance date serves no interest except that of the Internet gambling enterprises that have long evaded American gambling laws," says the letter from Kyl and Bachus. Neither comments on the special interests involved in their rejection of online gambling, including the NFL and the Christian Coalition.
Frank and his group say that legislative actions are being considered which would alter the law, including Frank's bill to regulate online casinos, and ask for time to resolve the issue before implementing a problematic prohibition. Kyl and Bachus wish to press the UIGEA into implemented law before reconsideration can occur.
