The way I see it is that SCOTUS refused to hear the case. Therefore it leaves the existing federal law intact. Since NJ attorneys theorize the law is unconstitutional, hence the reason they attempted to get SCOTUS to hear the case, they can move forward and implement the wagering.
The federal government would then have to proceed with a suit against NJ, most likely beginning with a complaint to a federal court asking for a temporary restraining order to cease and desist.
Of course I am not an attorney and I just guessing at all of this.
I believe the federal law can be challenged because it does not apply to all 50 states.
The Marijuana laws apply nationwide but 4 ( I think ) states have gone ahead and defied the federal government. So far the feds have not done anything to challenge those states. Why wagering is treated differently is a mystery to me.

One note....I think the federal government has no business getting into this fray. Those knuckleheads have far larger fish to fry.
listen I have seen this over and over the past decade...others have seen it over multiple decades...even when it looks good its all smoke and mirrors...i think Delaware was supposed to get sports betting years ago...were even building additions and stuff on casinos for it and then I'm pretty sure it died somewhere

I'm not trying to site promote or anything but I'm a member at therx.com which covers the offshore industry but of course doesn't forget about the mainland wagering business..offshore wagering has been basically decimated by the feds and this would be a great chance for something onshore to spring up...like I said though...highly doubt it
