A federal judge said Thursday he would render a decision “within two weeks” in the lawsuit by sports organization seeking to block New Jersey’s plans to offer Las Vegas-style betting on games at state casinos and racetracks.
U.S. District Court Judge Michael Shipp said after three hours of oral argument in his Trenton courtroom that he wished he could have made an immediate decision, but that the arguments were “too complex” to be decided so quickly.
However Shipp rules, an appeal is expected and the case could eventually wind up in the U.S. Supreme Court because of its constitutional ramifications.
