One of the largest lobbyists, The American Gaming Association, didn't back it. They backed a feasibility study to regulate it.
Regardless, the demopublicons, holding the majority in Congress, passed yet another law prohibiting Americans from exercising an individual freedom. This demonstrates to me that republicans, like democrats, believe that most Americans are simply unable to regulate their own indivdiual lives. Therefore, it is up to Congress to control our behavior with prohibition legislation.
Right, I know. I'm just as much against an intrusive government into the private lives of the citizens as much as the next guy. I am also against all these non-profits set up to lobby government to regulate what I can and cannot watch on TV or listen to on the radio. If I don't want to watch smut and garbage on the TV or listen to Howard Stern, I'll change the station and have always done so.
