Short Answer I

Replay Baseball has expanded its operations to several Midwest states including Illinois. This expansion now accounts for thirty percent of its business. Nucky has hired Eli, a 62 year-old Native American who resides in Massachusetts, to deliver baseballs to this new region. Eli is kept very busy and works fifty hours per week. Eli delivers the baseballs in a large tractor-trailer that Nucky purchased from Empire Trucks, a small truck dealer operating exclusively in Boston, Massachusetts. Nucky has designed the trailer depicting several scantily clad women in bathing suits holding baseballs. The trailer does not include rear windshield wipers in the back of the cab.

Does Eli have an argument that Nucky violated his rights under the 14th Amendment?

Answer 1

Does Eli have an argument that Nucky violated his rights under the 14^th Amendment?

Mickey has never liked Nucky so he decides to play a practical joke on him by pretending to sell him his home in the Cayman Islands. He tells Torrio that he has no intention of selling Nucky the home. Mickey approaches Nucky in a bar where Nucky is clearly intoxicated. The home is assessed at $10 million but he offers Nucky the home for $50,000. He winks and smiles at Nucky and Nucky accepts and the two shake hands. Nucky quits his job at Replay Baseball and moves to the Cayman Islands where Mickey informs him that he never had any intention of selling him the home. Nucky is moving furniture and trimming the hedges at the time. Of course, Mickey never mentioned that he owned a second home in the Cayman Islands that was recently destroyed in a hurricane.
