State Senators Want to Ban LIV Golf From New Jersey

Front Office Sports ^ | AUGUST 16, 2022 | AMANDA CHRISTOVICH

[Dr. Franklin]

With all of the shore resorts in NJ, let them try to ban miniature golf!

[Parley Baer]

Just another way to try and hurt President Trump. He just hosted a LIV tournament.

[tennmountainman]

Unconstitutional.

[kiryandil]

One of the dirtiest vote-rigging states in the country.

Those illegitimate pieces of cheating Mitt should be ornaments at a local Esso station, not interfering with ventures that will make the state of New Jersey money.

[GSWarrior]

I can’t believe how petty some people are over this.

[kiryandil]

Moose and Rocko should help these gentlemen find their mouth-zippers.

[chief lee runamok]

zwicker and codey, more human garbage perpetually experiencing Trump Derangement Symptom.

[ARW]

it’s a Twitter world unfortunately

[DesertRhino]

A bill of attainder.... cool. How about a bill that Wendys can sell burgers there but McDonalds can’t. Same exact thing.

[Alter Kaker]

Unconstitutional.

Which constitution? Federal or state? Which part?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Federal.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 3

[Alter Kaker]

Nope. A law outlawing a certain practice is not a bill of attainder or ex post facto law, even if the law is designed only to apply to one person or entity. A bill of attainder declares a specific party guilty of a crime without trial. State legislatures have vast police powers, even when they use them in dumb partisan ways like they are in this case.

[SaxxonWoods]

The LIV is blowing billions that won’t get spent on weaponry, etc. Leave them alone, let them waste their dough on golfers.
The golfers will use a lot of that money for charity to avoid taxes and do some good.

[Captain Peter Blood]

The PGA has had a monopoly for so long they can’t stand the competition. How this is bad I am not sure , let the PGA compete with LIV, if they can’t make it then they can fold up shop.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

Move the damn thing to FL. they would love to have it there!!

[Alberta's Child]

For what it’s worth, the U.S. Golf Association is headquartered in Far Hills, New Jersey … right up the road from Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Wrong.

The clause thus prohibits all legislative acts, “no matter what their form, that apply either to named individuals or to easily ascertainable members of a group in such a way as to inflict punishment on them without a judicial trial. . . .”

(United States v. Lovett)

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Golf course = an egregious waste of a perfectly good rifle range.

[aimhigh]

The Saudis also invested in the PGA. This is basically about a monopoly trying to protect itself.
