In living memory, at least 3 SCOTUS judges have stated that slavery is legal and should not have been ended.

Two of those justices currently sit on the Supreme Court.

What does that have to do with non-competes?

I’m not the person you are replying to, but California had a ballot initiative that would finally eliminated slavery in California in 2024.

It failed.

If you think the US completely banned slavery, or that slavery is unpopular, you’re misinformed.

Well that was about forced labor in prisons which is a bit different.
Restricting the slave owner to the state (+ leasing to businesses) does not make it not slavery. I can't believe I have to say this.
To quote a well known (fictional) sociopath - ‘what’s to prove? It’s free labor!’
