Not sure if his has been mentioned yet, or whether this is the correct place for the post, but I just got an email noting the following:
"U.S. Sen. Jon. Kyl's efforts to amend an appropriations bill to include language prohibiting Internet gambling in the United States have failed. The amendment was defeated in the Senate this morning after a night of debate and political gamesmanship. Democratic leaders invoked a point of order on the amendment, arguing that it should be placed on a bill in the Banking and Finance committee and not an appropriations bill. The point of order was passed by majority vote, essentially killing Kyl's amendment."
