The Gamble on Justice
This chapter critiques how Supreme Court justices use historical principles to justify modern changes in sports gambling laws, exposing the absurdity of such connections. It explores the evolution of sports betting in the U.S., highlighting the extensive lobbying efforts and the economic and social ramifications this legalization has wrought, particularly on vulnerable populations. The discussion reveals alarming trends in financial health and addiction linked to gambling, as well as the broader dysfunctions within the political system that hinder effective policy change.
