Kind of a big deal.  The Supreme Court agreed today to review and rule on the case - only about 1% of all cases brought to the court are actually heard.

If they rule PASPA is dead, the floodgates are open to legalized sports betting.

Ruling should be sometime in the first half of 2018.

The SC should address the constitutionality of PASPA,since it doesn’t apply to all 50 states....

That would be sweet for me.  Probably would have to go to the Meadowlands Racetrack to place a wager though.

I think it's the only realistic thing that will save AC.  AC is like Newark's West or South Ward, Chicago's Southside or Baltimore's Westside.

Gentlemen, remember this goes legal and in short order you will get with an app on say "meadowlands entertainment" or whatever and have your virtual casino, horse racing and sports betting all under one umbrella.

Good point Marc. I'm sure there will be a website if there's an app.  I'm probably one of the few people in their 30s without a smartphone.  I like my $20 monthly bill, hahaha.  But there are tons of commercials promoting online casino betting here.

Your bailiwick appears to be in the subject of constitutional matters, is this an occupational byproduct or more of an interest? Just curious.

Not an occupational by-product..Hockeyteeth..I just believe that then US Constitution like the Constitution of Canada is the supreme law of the land..

..and that a countries Constitution provides base or core of rules and principles that govern a country.

Former MLB Commissioner Faye Vincent thinks it is coming, and is a good thing.

I mean, don't they think.???????????????????...


There ARE NO bogus reasons for legalization.

If somebody told me back in the 1970's that MJ wouldn't be recreational legal until at least 2010 I would have bet MY LIFE it had to occur earlier.

And, YES THEY DO THINK, but only FOR THEMSELVES!!!

Here is the final bit from SCOTUS Blog, posted this morning,  it appears there is an actual chance that Five Justices will agree with New Jersey.  

Perhaps most crucially for New Jersey, Justice Stephen Breyer pressed Clement to explain Congress’ goal in enacting PASPA. When Clement responded that Congress wanted to eliminate “state-sponsored or -operated gambling taking place by either individuals or the state,” Breyer pounced. That means, he observed, “there is no interstate policy other than the interstate policy of telling the states what to do.”

Arguing for the United States in support of the NCAA and the sports leagues, Deputy Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall tried to offer the justices a way around a potentially sticky constitutional problem. Here, he said, even though New Jersey characterized its 2014 law as a repeal of existing state laws regulating sports betting, the law actually authorized sports betting, in the sense that it only allowed sports betting at 12 specific casinos and racetracks in the state.

But that response got him into hot water with Roberts, after Wall responded “yes” to a question about whether New Jersey could repeal all existing state laws, “across the board, no exceptions.” “You have no problem at all and anyone can engage in any kind of gambling they want” – including a 12-year-old going to a casino? Roberts asked incredulously.

The argument continued for a few minutes more, but that exchange may have been enough for at least five justices. A decision in the case is expected by summer.

If New Jersey wins this case, no longer Vegas trips for me. Less expensive to travel to New Jersey (from Florida) and have family members in New York. It's a no brainer for me.

And who's to say it will stop with New Jersey? Allow it nationwide once and for all.
