We'll be back for a week...maybe two.

Spending bills (or punting them til next year) will be the priority. I'd be surprised if anything substanative gets done, but there are some rumors that the "study bill" may get passed.

I didnt anticipate that and would have expected that more stuffed into a spending bill, so if we do a continuing resolution I dont see it happening.

Wow, with the same Congress that just passed the current legislation! I am honestly shocked to read that.

Take that with a grain of salt, I still think it is a longshot.

I too was surprised to hear it, but considering who I heard it from, it actually might be possible.

I think there are quite a few people in the current congress that voted for the ban, but would also like to see a study.

I don't think everyone who voted for the ban is 100%, no way, never, no how...against online gaming. Some votes were voting to ban online gaming in it's current state, but if an effective regulation could be done, it might be ok.

[Berge20]

Agreed

Timing and consideration rumors surprised me more than potential passage.
