Good on them. What do you think the chances are that they will get it to pass?

Hopefully pretty good. It would probably be a good idea to contact all your congress critters and ask them to support it. In fact, Sen. Orrin Hatch is head of the Judiciary committee, where the bill is now.

Be sure to see the Nevada response to USO's lawsuit thread here that COUES started.

Here's the full committee. -TONY

Maybe the two threads could be turned into one?
Might make it easier on everyone.
Thanks for the list of the committee

Look at that committee. With Feinstein and Kennedy, anything that looks like states rights and hunting will be "shot down" immediately.

Coues,



Not sure if Don can combine the threads, but I linked to your in this one. That should take care of it.



prof242,



There are lots of committee members to outweigh the two you cited, and the bill, sponsored by a Democrat, has several other Democrats as co-sponors. Thus, I believe it will make it to the floor. -TONY
