The push by the NJ lawmakers is one that will result in sports wagering in our state sooner than later!

I think that plays into my theory.
The way I see it is this. If the SCOTUS had heard the case and had NJ lost, it would seem to me that the opinion of the SCOTUS would have to apply to ALL 50 states. That would in theory shut down ALL sports betting in the country.
I believe that is why NJ tried to have the SCOTUS hear the case.
It was a win win for NJ had the Court decided to take the case.
I think if NJ pushes this hard enough, it cracks.
