Overturning The Ban On Web Gambling
April 26, 2007, 7:43pm
The ban on Internet gambling enacted last fall already is under fire from a key House Democrat. Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank of Massachusetts today introduced a bill to overturn the ban.
“The fundamental issue here is a matter of individual freedom,” Frank said at a press conference to announce the bill’s introduction. Noting that while he personally doesn’t enjoy Internet gambling, some people do, and “no member of Congress ought to arrogate to himself or herself the right to censure the leisure-time activitiy of other people.”
