There's been several threads about NJ's challenge to the federal sports betting law. I don't see that anyone has posted an update so here goes. In a 6-3 decision announced this morning, the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act has been struck down. I've not read the ruling so I'm not clear on if the entire law was struck down, or just the provision that required states to prohibit sports gambling. More to come later...
