WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to hear arguments on whether sports betting should be legalized in New Jersey.
The justices, as is custom, gave no reason for agreeing to hear the appeal of a court decision that threw out the state's latest effort to bring sports betting to its casinos and race tracks. The case would be argued during the court term that begins in October.
The court in January had delayed a ruling on the case, saying it first wanted to hear what President Donald Trump had to say on the issue. His acting solicitor general, Jeffrey B. Wall, urged the justices in May not to take the case
