Why is betting on this legal, but betting on college football games not?

Your link only confirms what I already wrote. 11/2/04 was the day of the election itself. So my argument stands.

I'm not sure it is legal, but as a practical matter, so long as TradeSports doesn't have assets in the US, it's hard to enforce any judgment against them (I don't think Scotland would enforce a US money judgment against TradeSports.) I have, however, heard of Federal or state authorities going after credit card companies based in America, for facilitating illegal gambling in online casinos.

So I imagine the fuzz could shut down betting from the US, if they put forth the effort.

"I have, however, heard of Federal or state authorities going after credit card companies based in America, for facilitating illegal gambling in on-line casinos."

Federal legislation has been proposed to restrict the use credit cards for offshore gambling transaction.

Logic 101; the undistributed middle

Not this time. This time will be Garza. Next time will be Janice Rogers Brown.

[BCrago66]

I could live with that. Then once Brown gets in, the Takings Clause of the 5th Amendment will have meaning once again.

The left will sacrifice any principle (that is if they have any) in order to trash any conservative.

As I have said here many, many times, I don't think Hillary Clinton will be nominated in 2008. But on the off chance she is, I'd be okay with it. Few candidates are more beatable. Remember the mind-set of the liberals in 2004. They LOVED Howard Dean, but when the rubber met the road, they were afraid to nominate him. They didn't think he was electable. They thought a long-time senator with a military record (*snarf*) was a safer, more electable choice. Kerry, in comparison to Dean, had "gravitas." (I know, it's ridiculous, but we're in the liberal mind now.)

Hillary Clinton, after all, is a one-term senator (who may not even win a second term), a woman, a politician with connections to a president that really stank, a politician with all sorts of nasty trash stuck to her shoes and trailing out of her @$$. As bad as the Dems are when it comes to nominations---ie, Dukakis, McGovern, Mondale, Gore---I don't believe they will ever stoop as low as to anoint Hillary Clinton. I probably won't live to see it, but I'm living for the day I can crow "I told you so," because I'm very sure of this. She hasn't a snowball of a chance.

Interesting that the ACLU isn't on that list.
