New Jersey said the Constitution allows Congress to pass laws barring wagering on sports...

Based on what?

[Hebrews 11:6]

See posts #7 & 10. The 10th Amendment of the US Constitution reserves to the states all powers which the Constitution does not specifically assign to the federal government. That prohibits the Congress from "commandeering" from the states their prerogatives to legislate as they see fit. The "PASPA" law overturned here did just that.

Here's the ruling you can read for yourself: Murphy v. NCAA.

[Repeal 16-17]

Read Justice Thomas’s concurring opinion. He shows why the Commerce Clause should not be interpreted to allow Congress to ban sports betting. I think he’s the smartest Justice on the Court and the one who is most faithful to the Constitution.
