Re: Sen Richard Burr (NC) response
FWIW: the response I got from David Price was much more reasonable, although he still supported HR4411. He talked about how the bill didn't change anything re: the legality of poker itself, merely aiding enforcement of laws on the books. He felt it was a good attempt to buck the trend of federal laws that were impossible for states like NC to implement (e.g. No Child Left Behind).
I disagree with Price on a lot of things but at least he's a scholar and a gentleman. Despite his stance on HR4411 I doubt he would ever pull a dirty trick like we saw with Frist last Friday night.
