Amnesty?

Congress may be looking at a stay or a repeal of the UIGEA which started a flood of departing poker rooms (most recently, Doyle's Room) based on recent comments by Barney Frank.

Also, I think it's required of me to link to any article that has the words "Barney Frank" and "bargepole".

Ah, those quirky Brits.

The gist of this is, you now have Pelosi, Frank, and Conyers (mentioned before, but not in this post) looking at revisiting or repealing the online poker ban. All three now have positions of power since November. For millions of U.S. poker players, this is a good thing.

In related news, Bill Frist and Bob Goodlatte (VA, House sponsor of UIGEA) still have no friends and we still hate them.
