Yeah, and gambling has a clear precedent for state (and tribal) right to regulate.

The question at hand here isn’t either of our points. The question is whether or not prediction markets are gambling with lipstick on.

when there is a conflict of laws, federal law reigns supreme, thats the Supremacy Clause

when federal law is completely absent, states have the right to behave however they want, thats the 10th amendment

federal law is not absent, state laws are curbed, in its simplest interpretation
