Re: Antigua\'s WTO Case Getting Some Coverage
[ QUOTE ]
Just happy to be here guys.
States rights and state sovereignty don't carry any weight here. The Constitution’s Supremacy Clause subordinates states’ rights to the national treaty power. When a nation enters into a treaty, it undertakes an international obligation that binds all of its organs (executive, legislative and judicial) and all its constituent jurisdictions (state and federal). A state is responsible for carrying out the obligations of an international agreement.

Jay,
You are doing an excellent job representing sports bettors in America. I especially appreciate your forward-thinking attitudes in engaging this community. Too bad not all sports bettors are as engaged.
Given the strength of the NFL lobby, do you really see a situation where the U.S. legalizes Internet sports betting? Or, is it more likely that they will legalize some but draw the line at sports betting, telling the WTO to take it or leave it?
