Default Re: November 14th: House Judiciary Committee Hearing Thread

Hannaway’s testimony and her description of the DOJ’s position that all placing of bets online is illegal, provides a big opportunity for us I think. Because of this position it might be possible to make the horse racing industry and major sports feel criminally vulnerable and thereby turn their powerful lobbies to help legalize online gaming. To do this, pressure has to be put on the DOJ to make some kind of arrest towards these groups.

Also, does this situation provide an equal protection issue? I know prosecutors have a great deal of discretion, but this situation is so over the top that it smacks of something more than discretion used with good faith.
