"It's been over 10 years in the making. The enforcement provisions provided by this bill will go a long way to stop these illegal online operations,” one of the bill's key backers, Sen. Jon Kyl, a Republican of Arizona, said in a statement.

John Kyl tried many years ago with Dean Smith and John Thompson to eliminate college sports betting even in Vegas (which would kill my annual March Madness trip). He has been at it ever since. Once he failed at that he started in on Internet gambling back in 1997. It took him 9 years to even sneak in a law restricting banks from dealing with gambling offshore sites. Many tries and many failures. Such a loser that this is his only claim to fame.

To the poker players in Arizona, please vote him out next time he comes up for election before he joins Rep. Goodlatte (VA) again (yes talking to you Virginia voters) on a more intense persecution of us online poker players that was originally proposed.

You are right about Kyl, but Frist is the one who got it put on the back of the port security bill. If not for Frist it wouldn't have gotten passed.

I believe the saying is "Kyl style with a Frist twist"

Frist probably owed Kyl a favor. If not for Kyl there would not be a bill for Frist to pass. Vote out Kyl, who by the way is up for election this year and he can't push for next phase of gambling prohibition during his next 6 YEARS in office.
