For once we would have some interesting litigation.

I may be all wet here, but I think that the courts are all going to have a tough time with this issue.

One of the legal tenants of our nation has always been that no man may be deprived of, ‘Life, Liberty or their property’ without due process.

While I agree that what Sterling said was wrong, stupid and idiotic, it was not illegal. Not even close.

It would probably be a good thing that Donald is no longer involved with the Clippers. Having said that, I believe that forcing him to sell the Clippers would set a very dangerous precedent(not so much a slippery slope, but more like skydiving without a parachute).

With one leg of our jurisprudence kicked out from under us, the other two would also eventually fall.
