6th Circuit Rules Kalshi Sports Contracts Are Gambling, Not Federal Swaps

A unanimous 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled on Friday that Ohio and Tennessee may apply state gambling laws to Kalshi’s sports event contracts. The court rejected Kalshi’s argument that these contracts are federally regulated 'swaps' under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), stating that such instruments are designed for risk hedging, not sports betting. This decision vacates a preliminary injunction in Tennessee and upholds a lower court ruling in Ohio, deepening a split among federal circuits and increasing the likelihood of Supreme Court review.

Appeals panel tosses DOJ misconduct complaint against Boasberg for lack of evidence

A federal appeals court dismissed the Justice Department’s judicial-misconduct complaint against U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, finding the DOJ failed to provide the necessary sources and corroboration for the alleged remarks at a Judicial Conference meeting. The panel said missing attachments and unverified sources left the complaint unsubstantiated, and noted that expressing concerns about executive-branch compliance in such settings does not automatically amount to misconduct. The story also notes related controversy over Boasberg’s rulings on the Alien Enemies Act migrant removals and mentions a separate DOJ complaint against a different judge on the same court.
