The US Supreme Court ruled that forcing states to comply with a federal ban on sports betting is unconstitutional.

Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts says he applauds the decision, but with reservations.

Ricketts says a Supreme Court ruling on sports betting is a win for state’s rights.

Still, he says the gambling focus of the legal challenge does not apply to Nebraska.

Ricketts has been a supporter of the anti-gaming group, Gambling With The Good Life.
