Not really Dub its actually better that its not going to be litigated. Already a bill ready to go and basically we will be doing the same thing that Colorado and Washington state do a far as smoking the ganj is concerned, our version will just be gambling. If the court had taken up the case it would have not made a decision till sometime in October and if they said no at that time then we would have to have started the process that we started today. Doesn't really matter since everybody and their mother takes action in Jersey anyway, not hard to get a bet down at all. Heres the bill posted at that website that you wanted to get in the game with but now having 2nd thoughts about it now that you are in the game (you don't really want me to play the video again do ya?) by a well known member of the gambling community named ComptrBob.
Per John Brennan, one of the journalists following the story:
Here is the language in the bill just introduced by state Sen. Ray Lesniak, D-Union County, in the wake of the Supreme Court denying New Jersey’s application to be heard on its sports betting bill:
“AN ACT concerning statutory prohibitions against sports wagering and supplementing Title 5 of the Revised Statutes. Eliminates statutory prohibitions against sports wagering at racetracks and casinos in New Jersey. BE IT ENACTED by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey: 1. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, including, but not limited to, chapter 37 of Title 2C of the New Jersey Statutes, sports wagering conducted at a racetrack or a casino under procedures developed solely by the racetrack or casino shall not be considered unlawful gambling and a person shall not be subject to criminal or civil liability under the laws of this State for participating in, or conducting, sports wagering at a racetrack or a casino as herein provided. 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
STATEMENT This bill provides that sports wagering conducted at a racetrack or casino under procedures developed solely by the racetrack or casino is not considered unlawful gambling under New Jersey law. Under the bill, a person will not be subject to criminal or civil liability under the laws of this State for participating in, or conducting, sports wagering at a racetrack or a casino. This bill would conform current law to the rationale expressed by the Solicitor General of the United States in his brief to the United States Supreme Court opposing certiorari in the matter of Christie, et al. v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, et al. On page 11 of his brief, the Solicitor General states that the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), 28 U.S.C. 3701 et seq., “does not even obligate New Jersey to leave in place the state-law prohibitions against sports gambling that it had chosen to adopt prior to PASPA’s enactment. To the contrary, New Jersey is free to repeal those prohibitions in whole or in part.”
