The Middle East is burning, the economy sucks, yet the GOP Nanny Staters want to spend time on fantasy sports. I wonder if Adelson worried about people gambling on fantasy sports instead of in LV gave Upton a call. The "Baptists-Bootlegger" coalition strikes away to take away freedom.

If this is hurting his casino business, why doesn’t Adelson GET IN on the fantasy sports stuff instead of trying to stop it? He certainly has millions lying around with which to launch his own Fan Duel type site.

...skirting gambling laws...

What that always means is that they are following gambling laws.

Like when you "skirt traffic laws" by going the speed limit.

You are absolutely correct on the Adelson angle, and dead wrong on the "nanny-state" angle.

This is nothing to so with morality, and everything to do with protecting major interests in the casino industry.

If he’s so concerned about this then let him call for a ban on lotteries first . . . at least these sites require you do some homework.

Reacting with limitless courage, the Congress of the United States moves swiftly in the deflate gate non-scandal to protect gamblers on football games. Now Congress moves to protect establishment gambling companies from Internet gamblers, no doubt who bet on football games.

There is no end to the good Congress can do.

I'd be willing to bet (?) that one of the "Families" is controlling all these.

All politicians care about is expanding their power and influence. Government will always grow. Until collapse.
