Yeah, I'm definitely not like a 10th Amendment scholar and could, I don't know if there are comparable states that are exempted from federal law.
I do think it was noteworthy that when the Supreme Court ruled in 2018 in favor of New Jersey, that they said it wasn't that Congress lacks the authority to regulate bookmaking.
And I don't even think they specifically said this exempting aspect of that law was invalid.
It was just PASPA was structured.
The 92 law was structured in a very odd way where they said states that have banned bookmaking can't rethink that.
They can't.
You know that those those laws are locked in place as of ninety two.
But they opened the door for Congress to immediately pass a bill that would correct the constitutional errors of that law.
And as so often happens, there wasn't the political will to do that.
And states seize that opening.
Right.
Yeah, and I would suspect that had that decision come down in 1993, Congress would have immediately passed an updated law.
But the leagues were the ones that lobbied Congress to put the ban in place in the first place.
And although they were the –
They were the plaintiffs, I guess, in the Murphy NCAA case, the 2018 case that the Supreme Court ruled on.
There was not nearly the same motive to correct the court's decision and lobby Congress.
In fact, the leagues were so aggressive in lobbying states to legalize bookmaking as quickly as possible.
No doubt.
And obviously the leagues didn't suddenly get profit motivated in 2018.
So I think what you said is exactly right.
