Brought to you by the POS SCOTUS who gave us Citizens United. I'm shocked.
What could go wrong??
I bet my house on House taking it to the house!
My favorite part: "The law was passed out of concern that sports gambling might change the nature of sporting events from wholesome entertainment to a device for gambling."
Sports, by its nature, is zero sum. For every winner there is a loser. That is the attraction. That's why leisure activities like fishing, ice skating and dancing wind up as competitions,
Which ostrich thinks gambling hasn't always been the single largest driver of sports viewership?

If gambling is first I think bacon potato skins are a close second.
This ostrich.
And yet I take your point. Look at all the passing rule changes. I'm sure it was for the wholesomeness of the sport. Hell, professional sports does a decent enough job ****ing up the sport on its own but why not bring in the experts.

I think you're overlooking the wings cartel.

Well, yes. the SCOTUS can be a POS. But not on this issue.
There are still many more important decisiions coming up. (and ones from the past that are worse POS already!).
so, let's save the POS for the issues that really matter.
Gas pipe. Do it.
I'm literally daring you to step in this bear trap.
Tell me, what is Citizens United btw?
It makes sense, doesn't it? After all, a corporation is much larger than a person. Shouldn't its influence reflect that? Think how badly a one man/one vote policy discriminates against the Trinity?
George Soros. Gas Pipe. Google him. Bad man. Worse than corporations.
No need to google him, InfoWars tells all.
God, I want to put money down on this debate. If only it were legal.
Do it Sideshow! I'm sure TimesFour has a line in Vegas now!
Pretty sure the world is coming to an end.... again.
My world ended at the end of "The Crying Game."

A group of people who wanted to show a movie. FedGov tried to say, nope, you don't have the right of assembly or the free speech rights to do it.
It should have been a 9-0 "F*** off, slaver" decision in favor of Citizens United. The fact that it wasn't is the POS part of the decision.
Whelp. When you put it that way. Then yes.

BS. For 137 years the Supreme Court had held that Corporations were NOT people. Not entitled to the same free speech rights. Your summary of it is simplistic.
hmmm.
Maybe SCOTUS' opinion....has "evolved" over the years then. ?
right? They didn't change an opinion....it just "evolved".
Corporations are groups of people. And demos.org obviously in an equal say for all if they're looking to restrict the natural rights reinforced by 1A.
when a corporation is put in jail for murder I'll believe in Citizens United
until then, legalized bribery
next thing you know we'll be letting corporations get married
Geez, now I don't know if "mergers" refers to marriage or sex.
Next thing ya know George Soros will buy influence to make our country into a socialist cumbag like Venezuela.
Oops. Already happening out here in the San Diego District Attorney race. He wants a D.A. that will be lenient with criminal activity. Yikes!
He's a bad man.

Which bathroom can they use?
corporations **** wherever they want to
other than the obvious oppression on Italian Americans, why should anyone care?
I mean, even the conservative Christians have been willing to turn a blind eye to "sinful behavior" and long as they can control the exit strategy of the vagina.
I guess I was under the impression that there already was gambling...
