The Supreme Court and the Future of American Sports

Since her nomination on May 26th, the public has paid a great deal of attention to Sonia Sotomayor and Supreme Court politics. In Sotomayor's confirmation hearings, Senators ignited important ethical discussions regarding the authority and the limitations of judges. Are Justices allowed to include their own moral opinions into rulings?  Can Justices consider a rulings implications and likely consequences when deliberating on certain verdicts?

After pondering these legal quandaries, read the following article about the NFL and its involvement in an upcoming antitrust case. This passage will add perspective to the Supreme Court for those of us who don't completely understand the intricacies of the US court system.  In very real terms, you will be able to comprehend the implications of Supreme Court rulings.


*Special thanks to Jim Adams for exposing my mind to antitrust policy and its ramifications in society.*
