This bill was passed by the Judiciary Committe in the House. The 1st step in the legislative process. This will proably go to the House for a full floor vote Jan 2012 since XMas & New Year time is right around the corner. After that it will goto the Senate and finally if everything goes smooth, to Obama's desk to make it the law of the land. There are quite a few Indian lobby groups raising thousands of dollars to pass this bill. Money talks and this bill has good chances of going all the way through. Not good for ROW.
