On Monday, the state of New Jersey history as it was the first state in America, which supports licensed and regulated online gambling. If the governor signs the law Chris Christie, then New Jersey will be the first state, allows the licensed and regulated online gambling in the States.
He has 45 days to sign either the law or veto it. If he wants to appeal such, the laws of the state of this tilt. But for this it needs a two third majority of the Assembly and Senate, this process has its pitfalls. Republicans who voted for the legalization of online gambling to be their governor does not fall safely in the back. And because the Democrats do not have veto-proof majority, a veto is possible.
Christie is against the law to appeal? This depends on its political goals.
Christie is a rising star in Republican heaven and is listed as a possible presidential candidate for 2012. If he wants to compete for his party than President or Vice President, could the legalization of online gambling cause problems. He is aware that if he is signing this bill, so the conservative Republicans do not like.
This could ensure that he is for such an office is not even considered. But if he pursues national objectives, then the veto could be favorable. But he does not worry about the influence of national politics, he will most likely force of this Act into force. This legalization was adopted with strong support and legislators like it is not known if their work is charged against opposition.
But if Christie decides to carry out the veto, then it could help in the general ignorance regarding online gambling. Although the UIGEA gambling recognizes particularly within the confines of New Jersey, which was initiated by the government of the state. He could justify his opposition to the fact that he is not against the law of the United States would like to run and would be off the hook. Most legislators have no idea what is legal or illegal in relation to this right, because is not their area of expertise.
And when Christie stating that his lawyer think that it is not right, then most legislators will regard this as a legally undefined zone and leave it at that. What’s more, that the legal department, which harbors such a legal view, all forms of gambling regards as illegal, regardless of what the UIGEA says and you have the defense of such an objection.
Christie has not publicly said what he intends to do. But whatever he decides, the law of New Jersey has been so successful that others have long sought to have legalized gambling.
The state of California tried to impose a law on online gambling last year, but it petered out. It could not even find the necessary votes in the Senate and the House of Representatives. The states of Florida and Iowa have dealt with this issue and have made no progress.
Republican Representative Frank has managed to push through a law on online gambling through its Financial Service Committee, but it was not voted in the House. And the chairman of the majority in the Senate, Reid failed in his efforts, a law on online poker, which should really be legalized, should enforce. This was done in the same manner as the UIGEA came into effect.
But why the legislation in New Jersey was successful, while the Californian and pan-American efforts failed? This reason is simple. In New Jersey there were fewer obstacles to success in other states.
On the U.S. level of gambling is a strong moral issue. Politicians in Congress are not as wide as in the states. Gambling is a moral taboo, but you need the income to the budget in balance. But the debate in government circles is operated on an ideological level. Here are politicians who oppose gambling vehemently, because it is false, it is a mortal sin that tears apart families and homes ruined.
And if they have lost the battle for the expansion of gambling in the U.S., they are still trying to prevent online gambling. But since there are also those who support the legalization of this division, but only if it regulates to their satisfaction and if the expected income to cover social expenditures.
There are some lawyers from both sides who dare to a freer approach. The government should not enter the adults talk about how they should spend their money in their spare time. But these are still in the minority.
In California and New Jersey, the moral is not so important. Democrats and Republicans have come up with the gambling became friends and the proceeds will benefit the state coffers. The law of New Jersey received from the Assembly 63 to 11 votes and the original vote in the Senate 29 to 5 and provided recently 34 to 2 in the Assembly.
In the Senate of the State of sitting in the Assembly 16 Republicans and 33 so there is an unusual harmony.
But in California and states in which the various interests of the Indian policy that legalization was only used in attack because leaders in the industry were unable to agree on how it should proceed with the online gambling.
Some commercial casinos and card rooms will offer online gambling, but the Indian tribes opposed this vehemently. They believe it would keep the guests from their casinos, an often-used argument.
Some of the tribes in California are of the opinion that they have an exclusive right to offer online gambling, on the basis of the agreements they made with the state. The state can not allow it to third parties. Some legal experts do not agree with this bargain, but the dishes are in the case have the last word. The Morongo tribe in California, now intends to provide its customers with online poker.
With such a range of opinions, the legislators have to vote in the states of the safest route and do nothing, although they need this much income. In states with Indian casinos are the Indian tribes a powerful political force, use the legislators for their election campaigns would act against them, that is unwise.
Large commercial casino companies are so influential political forces that must be considered. To reach the Indian tribes and the commercial casino companies to a kind of compromise, cope with everybody, there will no online gambling in Indian states with various interests.
And now to New Jersey. Here, no Indian various interests were present. And Atlantic City is so bright that the state was willing to do everything so that the situation is improving, and online gambling.
It did not matter that the Caesar had clearly made clear that it will have only regulation on a pan-American level and that the casinos in Atlantic City were not consistent, as had the gambling industry in New Jersey will be saved.
The Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association realized early on that in New Jersey did something to the effect, and works with the Democratic Senator Lesniak. The legislation for online gambling has been so successfully and so history was made.
