Outgoing New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie sat in the front row at the Supreme Court on Monday to hear a case challenging the constitutionality of a federal law that bans most states from sports betting. Several of the justices seemed sympathetic to parts of New Jersey's states' rights arguments, which could yield a victory for New Jersey and other states who seek to legalize sports betting and tap into what some say is currently a $150 billion per year illegal industry.
I did not know this was a major issue, but I'm glad it is being addressed.
