Would this ruling potentially affect federal drug laws? I say this because some US states have chosen to legalize marijuana, despite it remaining illegal at the federal level. This seems like a similar kind of situation.
- tssva 8y agoNo, the Supreme Court didn't rule that Congress couldn't pass laws regarding the regulation of sports gambling and userp state laws. What they ruled is that Congress couldn't choose to not regulate an area and then tell states how they had to regulate the same area. In the case of drug laws there are clear federal laws regulating drug trafficking, so this ruling does nothing to effect the status quo.
