The taxes collected on this could cure the national debt
The taxes they already collect could cure the national debt...if they went toward the national debt. More taxes collected is just going to mean richer politicians.

Doesn't work that way, but still all the more reason to shake the head that It hasn't happened already

The Feds can still regulate it ... if they want to.

The law was written in two parts.

The Judges agreed 9-0 that part 1 was unconstitutional on a technicality.
The Judges agreed 9-0 that part 2 did not violate the Constitution.

Six judges threw out the entire law. Three of them only wanted to only throw out part 1.

The Judges agree 9-0 that Congress can still regulate betting on games if they want to. And thus States won't get the privilege. The Fed just has to do it and cross their "T"s and dot their "I"'s.

But times have changed since 1992, Congress might leave it alone, and then States can do what they want.

The Feds can regulate, or even outlaw, gambling but they have to do it the same for all states...
