Will Republicans Draw Attention From Lobbying Scandal By Banning Online Gambling? In the wake of the recent scandal casino lobbying scandal involving Jack Abramoff and Tom DeLay, many Republican lawmakers believe that now is an opportune time to introduce legislation to ban online gambling. Republican lawmakers could make a more determined attempt to ban gambling on the internet online following the recent lobbying scandal. In the news that has rocked Washington’ D.C. for months, lobbyists Abramoff and DeLay are accused of, among other misdeeds, manipulating a 2000 bill to prohibit gambling on the internet online. DeLay, former House Majority Whip, vacated his position as Leader of the House when he was indicted. One of the contenders for his former position, Rep. John Shadegg, has mentioned his five- point plans for reforms he would like to pursue. One of these five priorities is a ban of all gambling on the internet online. Even if Rep. Shadegg’s bid for the position is not successful, it is quite possibly that one of his party members will adopt his five- point plan, moving to ban gambling on the internet online. Some House Republicans maintain that bills to ban gambling on the internet online that they have introduced in the past are now gaining momentum. Rep. Jim Leach, who has introduced such legislation for the past five Congressional sessions, said that his proposal to ban gambling on the internet online has drawn more attention since the Abramoff scandal. His bill has already attracted 23 sponsors.
