Gov. Chris Christie got some good news Monday in his long battle to legalize sports betting. The U.S. Supreme Court asked the U.S. solicitor general to submit a brief detailing the federal government’s position on the issues raised by a challenge of New Jersey’s sports wagering law.

NCAA and N.J. Thoroughbred Horsemen v. NCAA. With the highest court still undecided on whether to grant certiorari in the case, Monday’s development is seen by court watchers as improving the odds that the court will agree to hear the case.
