In PGA Tour v. Martin, Casey Martin was a disabled golfer who requested that he use a golf cart to play golf. Martin suffers from Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome, a congenital and degenerative circulatory disorder that, in Martin’s case, obstructs the flow of blood from his right leg back to his heart. The consequences of this for Martin are that his right leg has atrophied, that he suffers from severe pain in that leg, and that he consequently has great difficulty walking significant distances. Moreover, walking for an extended time subjects Martin to a heightened risk of hemorrhaging, blood clots, bone fractures, and, conceivably, having his right leg amputated. Martin argued that the Americans with Disabilities Act requires that the PGA Tour “make reasonable modifications” for disabled individuals, otherwise they would be in violation of the ADA.The use of golf carts is prohibited during tournaments by the governing agency, PGA Tour. Martin sued under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Supreme Court ruled in his favor. In philosophical terms, the Supreme Court held that the individual right denied caused greater harm than the need for uniformity or equality in practice. Rights, in other words, are superior to conventional arrangements of justice established by majorities.Using the Supreme Court case, the understanding of justice from Sandel, including Aristotle and his notion of Ethics as discussed in class, the modern understanding of what liberalism stands for, and Rawls’s understanding of justice as fairness, and any number of authors we have read on equality and justice, state which side has the better argument.You are encouraged to consult the Casey Martin case,which is posted on Canvas, but it is not required. If relying upon Sandel, the citation goes to Sandel. Should you cite the posted Casey Martin case, the citation will be to the page in Word and not to the actual page numbers of the case. So cite the case like this: (Martin, 5). In the text, the first reference goes like this: In Casey Martin v. PGA Tour, blah blah blah…But the second goes like this: In Casey Martin, blah blah blah… Do not write an essay on your feelings about this subject without reference to any thinkers discussed in class or in Sandel’s book. Do not rely exclusively or extensively on authors not found in Sandel. Do not attempt to write an answer to a question I did not ask. It is acceptable to use outside research, but not at the expense of Sandel’s book.
