Quote: Totally irrelevant. Each sesion there might be hundreds of potential bills floating around, most of which woulld pass if they reached the floor. Especially in an election year, especially the day of adjorment.
But these bills never see the floor because of the process that exists to prevent, or at least, reduce the likelyhood of, politically motivated measures or frivilous matters from becoming law.
How could senators vote against the port bill? Give me a break.
No, it does not matter at all if this bill would have passed on its on, the fact is that it never reached the floor on its own merits.
Sorry for the spelling errors.
So it makes no difference to you/us if all senators are for prohibiting internet gambling, some are and some are not, or a few are or most are? It makes no difference to us which senators support bans on internet gambling and which senators are against it?
That seems to be a very odd way of looking at the issue to me. Please explain the merits of looking at the issue that way (it is of no importance which and how many senators are for banning internet gambling) as opposed to understanding who is and who isn't, or estimates of how many are or are not. I am waiting for you to explain the virtues of your perspective.
