Doesn’t this violate commerce between states, effectively?

It does, but the constitution's already been shredded and it's dog-eat-dog in the political space right now, so we'll see how it goes.

  • SCOTUS will probably soon rule that extracting wealth from alienated gamblers is a fundamental American right, that the founding fathers had in mind when drafting the constitution.

No.

They're not banning prediction markets from out-of-state, they're banning it entirely. A state cannot ban out-of-state alcohol, but it can ban alcohol outright if it wanted to.

  • Yeah but there's a difference there. I can buy alcohol out of state and if I bring it back in, that's on me.

    Does anyone think that Minnesotans who are out of MN at the time of their bet will be allowed to bet? I don't think they'll be allowed, but they should be.
