According to CNN: “The Supreme Court cleared the way [today] for states to legalize sports betting, striking down a 1992 federal law that had prohibited most states from authorizing sports betting.

The court said the federal law violated constitutional principles limiting the federal government from controlling state policy. It unconstitutionally required states to prohibit sports betting under their own laws.

I’m tired driving 30 miles to play the horses and I can almost see a casino from my house.
