I think that Fitzgerald is a good candidate for immortalization in a constitutional law casebook becaue it is a) short; b) unanimous; and c) drains the "minimum rationality" doctrine of any content (other than sheer lunach) inasmuch as it allows rational statutes to have multiple objectives that are in tension with one another. My previous "favorite" minimum rationality case is Dallas v. Stanglin (dealing with the difference between roller rinks and dance halls), and I may stick with that because of the parochial Texas connection, but Fitzgerald, with its distinction between race tracks and riverboat casinos, is certainly tempting (and it has the virtue of contemporarniety).
