| Non-consitutional zones of California. A number of women who worked for the Thunder Valley gambling building wanted to sue their employer on a number of discrimination charges, but the gambling house is located on Native Ameircan reservatons and operated by Native Americans, the employees who are seeking money claim that their consitutional rights were violated - sex and age discrimination was claimed. The offended employees are not Native Americans.
However every state court has tossed out the cases and refused to hear them, because the judge said that the Native American reservations are off limites for state and federal courts. The U.S. government has no authority to try cases if the events occur on Indian lands, and although those reservations are located in the middle of California they are not really a part of the American country. (more or less).
They women could seek a hearing at Native Ameircan hearings (trials) but they do not use the consitution or our bill of rights, for determinating cases. And their views about such matters might be different then those of mainstream Ameirca or those of the woman's lib people.
The Thunder Vally Gambling and hotel employs many non- indians in their establishment. The American employees feel their rights be enforced by American laws and not by Native American opinons. (laws - if they have anything like wrote down?).
I will withhold my opinon till later, do you see anything in this news story worth debating about? Any comments other then a debate statement?
