If somebody wants to stop us, they have to take action to try and stop us, he said.
Earlier this year, the governor signed a bill authorizing sports gambling. This week, his administration will submit regulations that would allow sports bets to be taken in the state before the year ends. However, officials are expecting a legal challenge to arise out of a federal ban that prohibits sports gambling in nearly every state, including New Jersey, Christie said.
That is going to be their burden to try and prevent it, and thats why we are doing it the way we are doing it, the governor said. May we have to go through some litigation to get there? Probably, but I think well be successful.
When Gov. Chris Christie signed a law in January opening the door to sports betting in New Jersey, it was only a matter of time before professional sports cried foul.
Today, saying they wanted to protect the integrity of professional and amateur games, the four major leagues and the NCAA filed a lawsuit in U.S. federal court to block New Jersey from allowing sports wagering.
State Sen. Ray Lesniak (D-Union), whose law firm last year lost a bid to overturn the 1992 federal legislation, said the sports organizations would have to defend the constitutionality of an "unfair" law that gives a monopoly to a few states, offshore betting operators and organized crime.
"Let the games begin," Lesniak said. "From the start, we wanted our day in court to prove that the federal ban on sports wagering is unconstitutional. By moving forward with a law to legalize sports wagering in New Jersey a law that was approved overwhelmingly by the voting public of New Jersey we drew a line in the sand and dared the sports organizations to cross it."
