Utah's state's rights will continue to allow Utah to ban any gambling that takes place solely within the state of Utah.

Gambling on the internet does not (usually) SOLELY take place within the state of Utah. Doing any kind of business on the internet that involves at least one entity outside Utah is INTERSTATE COMMERCE. Interstate commerce is something the Constitution explicitly says the Federal Government must regulate.

Thus there is really no states' rights issue with respect to the WTO decision: the Feds either allow internet gambling, or they dont, and Utah is stuck with the result unless it want to leave the US.

(There could be some creative way to allow Utah and other states to do some things individually, but that is not under discussion anywhere right now)
