"Virtual betting parlors have attempted to avoid the application of United States law by locating themselves offshore and out of our jurisdictional reach," bill sponsor Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) said in a statement. "These offshore, fly-by-night Internet gambling operators are unlicensed, untaxed and unregulated and are sucking billions of dollars out of the United States."
Almost everything Goodlatte says about gambling is either wrong or uninformed.
He says "fly-by-night gambling operators" are sucking billions out of the US.
If they're sucking billions, I'd hardly call them fly-by-night.
