The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for states to legalize sports betting, striking down a 1992 federal law that limited gambling.

The justices ruled in favor of New Jersey, which argued that the federal law unconstitutionally intruded on state affairs.

Three justices dissented from aspects of the decision, arguing that the court should not have struck down the entire law but should have allowed some of its provisions to stand.
