Puuhlleeeze!

It was a senator from NJ that was the driving force behind PASPA!

My favorite part of this was when NJ was claiming that they just wanted to repeal their existing law...which would technically mean that it wasn't illegal to take sports bets...until they realized that Louie from the corner would now be a law abiding citizen. So they decided to add language specifying where sports betting would be legal, and on what games (no NJ college teams or games).

PASPA made it illegal for NJ to authorize sports betting...so short of a straight, clean repeal of the state law...it seems that passing any regs on the subject could be construed as "authorization."

If the SCOTUS does not repeal PASPA outright, just make it OK for NJ to repeal its law, well, that may be fun to watch.
