The American Gaming Association (AGA) has added its weight to New Jersey’s fight to have its sports betting appeal heard by the US Supreme Court.

Recent years have seen the AGA adopt a more activist stance towards overturning the federal PASPA sports betting prohibition. On Wednesday, the AGA filed an amicus brief detailing its belief that the “failed” prohibition “presents fundamental questions about states’ sovereignty to define their own laws and combat crime within their borders.”

Without getting too deep into the weeds, the AGA’s brief echoes the other amicus briefs filed in this case by citing the standard refrain that PASPA is unconstitutional for commandeering the states’ authority, while adding that a growing body of US citizens now favor legal sports betting.
