This state is so fucked up! It just gets better and better! Politicians keep their hands in the “minions” pockets and tell us how and where we can spend whats left of our money that they allow us to keep.
There is not one thing I can think of that the governement does well, other than spend money!
Jean Toal sits on her throne and dictates whichever way she needs to in order to please the corrupt politicians that put her there!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch my fucking property taxes have increased 30% during the worst economy in history!
I live in Jasper County. Im double fucked!
“Whether an activity is gaming/gambling is not dependent upon the relative roles of chance and skill, but whether there is money or something of value wagered on the game’s outcome,” the court’s majority opinion stated.
What about investing in a company? One could argue that isn’t necessarily gambling, but a “game of skill” of sorts, and even the most skilled can lose money they wager on the outcome. Should investing be illegal too, then?
What a fucking load, but to be expected from our loaded Supreme Court chief justice.
Playing the stock market is the biggest gamble of all!!! Errr… Next to farming!
This ruling ought to sink any hopes that the gambling ring in Lexington can hope to say that the machines were games of chance. Money was exchanged, let the indictments come forth!!!
What’s in Toal’s best interest? That’s how all decisions are made by this Court. Somehow, somewhere in this opinion, there is more to this case for Toal to yank it up and reverse the Court of Appeals.
