That's Bulls**t. No one "bent" state law - California was required, by federal law signed by Reagan, to negotiate wit the various tribes in order to allow gaming - No laws were bent or broken in order to implement gaming.

Still no one has answered my question regarding how places in Nevada and Atlantic City can have casinos - obviously casinos are a state issue, and any state could allow casinos with the simple passage of a bill if they chose.

Affirmative action pure and simple. A federal order or mandate is responsible many affirmative action programs.
