The current federal anti wagering law appears to be in conflict with the 10th( State's rights clause) and the 14th ( Equal protection clause) amendments.
I state this because there are states exempt from the law.
Nevada, Delaware, Montana and one other I cannot recall.
My theory is that if SCOTUS rules against New Jersey then that ruling would have to apply to ALL 50 states. Again, as I theorize.
Therefore, unless SCOTUS wants to stir up a (poop) storm, their opinion may just well fall on the side of NJ and permit that state to set up sports wagering..
Stay tuned
