 # 38-state bipartisan AG coalition opposing CFTC prediction market preemption signals that the state-federal conflict is a states' rights issue, not a partisan issue — making SCOTUS resolution less predictable even for a court that historically favors federal preemption
 
 A bipartisan coalition of 38 state attorneys general (38 of 51 AG offices) filed an amicus brief in Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. KalshiEx LLC backing Massachusetts against Kalshi's federal preemption claims. The coalition includes deep-red states like Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Utah — states that typically align with federal authority and deregulation. The brief argues that CFTC cannot claim exclusive preemption authority based on Dodd-Frank, which targeted 2008 financial crisis instruments, not sports gambling. The 38 AGs argue the CEA's exclusive jurisdiction clause 'does not even mention gambling at all.' This bipartisan composition transforms the conflict from a partisan regulatory dispute into a federalism issue, which changes the SCOTUS calculus. While the Court historically favors federal preemption, federalism cases with bipartisan state coalitions create unpredictable outcomes because they pit constitutional structure against administrative authority. The fact that states benefiting from tribal gaming exclusivity (like Oklahoma) are joining signals this is a gaming industry coalition defending state compact authority, not a partisan opposition to prediction markets.

+The 38-state coalition's opposing amicus brief (filed April 24, 2026) will be tested at oral argument on May 4, 2026. The SJC ruling following this argument will be the first state supreme court decision on whether the coalition's federalism argument (states retain sovereign authority over gambling regulation) prevails over CFTC's exclusive jurisdiction claim.

 # CFTC state supreme court amicus briefs signal multi-jurisdictional defense strategy beyond federal preemption litigation

 CFTC filed amicus brief on April 24, 2026 in Massachusetts SJC case (same day as 38-AG coalition filing), arguing that Congress created CFTC framework to prevent state-by-state regulatory patchwork and that allowing state gambling laws to override federal derivatives oversight would 'reintroduce fragmented oversight across jurisdictions.' This represents CFTC's real-time monitoring and same-day response pattern, consistent with Wisconsin counter-filing behavior.

+The May 4, 2026 oral argument scheduling confirms CFTC's state supreme court amicus strategy is advancing to the merits phase. This is the first state supreme court oral argument in the prediction market preemption litigation wave, making it the highest-stakes near-term judicial event for federal preemption doctrine.

 **Source:** CoinDesk Policy / The Hill, CFTC 5-state campaign April 2-28, 2026
 
 The CFTC's 5-state litigation campaign (April 2-28, 2026) across multiple circuits (AZ 9th Circuit, CT 2nd Circuit, IL 7th Circuit, NY 2nd Circuit, WI 7th Circuit) is accelerating toward circuit split. The 38-state AG coalition opposing CFTC preemption combined with this multi-circuit litigation pattern strengthens the case for SCOTUS cert by early 2027.

+
+Massachusetts SJC oral argument scheduled for May 4, 2026 converts the case from 'pending indefinitely' to 'ruling likely by August-November 2026' (3-6 months post-argument). This accelerates the timeline for state supreme court precedent and increases pressure for SCOTUS review if the SJC rules against CFTC preemption, as it would create the first binding state supreme court precedent in this litigation wave.
