What's the story behind this?

Looks like it's started. Could the picture quality be any worse? At least the sound is good.

Is there a way to save the video stream so I can watch later? I assume the video will be online at some point in the future, but I'd like to be able to watch before it is put online (assuming it won't happen immediately). As soon as my baby wakes up from her nap, I doubt I'll be able to keep watching.

I suppose I could pause the video. That might work.

Shelley Berkley is so awesome that I think I could convince my wife that a divorce would be a good idea so I could marry the esteemed Congresswoman.

Mr. Goodlatte, financial ruin, etc., ARE uncommon amongst internet gamblers. Citing two examples does not make it common.

Cool that Valerie Abend simply discussed the facts without appearing to take a side.

Weiler DOES have a view on internet gambling, despite his proclamations otherwise. He clearly plays online poker -- I have no doubt about it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm sure there's a time limit, but Annie was more rushed than any of the other speakers on the panel.

Seriously, Annie almost always seems a bit frenetic.

I'm slightly behind because I had to pause the video, but here is a summary of the opening statements:

Proponents - logical arguments

Opponents - gambling has caused the downfall of many civilizations, Christians hate it, and since there are no regulations on the internet, gambling shouldn't be regulated.

The DOJ aszwipe has tried to divert the discussion to sexual predators online, and the Calopy guy has fallen for it. Annie Duke now talking about it and giving a bad example of technology.

Annie Duke's Q&A is better than her testimony.

She was much better in the Q&A..Loved the re-directs to the DOJ only wished they would've/could've pressed her more specically on the Wire Act..

Just tuned in. Is it over or are they resuming?

They're in recess because of votes they need to do.

KEW 11-14-2007 12:40 PM

Re: November 14th: House Judiciary Committee Hearing Thread
 
Very basic question...What are they voting on????

And where did Rep Berkley go???? She was great but must've left after her testimony..Would've loved to hear her reply to the DOJ and the FoF guy...

I think Conyers indicated that he will do just that after the recess. I look forward to hearing more about the horse racing exemption/non-exemption (i.e., we, the DOJ, say we think it's illegal, but we've done nothing about for 30 years).

Can we sneak pokers UIGEA exemptino into a version of the war funding bill that won't get vetoed.

I am sitting here at break of hearing, had to get here 2 hrs early to get good seat. Gallery is full. Think Annie was solid and that conyers will give her some good questions...Q&A should be solid for us. Thought it was very interesting when Lamar Smith, ranking R cmmtee member interupted annie to say ' I'm not questioning your skill at all.' when he was cutting he off on that james bond Q about inside str8 flush odds....
