Potential action by the Maryland General Assembly in the current legislative regarding sports wagering is, frankly, amusing.
After previously failing to do what some other states had done in a prudent way -- craft effective legislation that anticipated a U.S. Supreme Court decision which allowed those states to add sports gambling to their portfolio of wagering options -- the Maryland legislature is now in fire drill mode.
Maryland's lawmakers are contemplating a legislative scheme that would amount to an end-run around the state's constitution to "fast track" sports gambling.
