It all started back in August 2014 when the JAC, several of its members, and the Jamul Community Church challenged the approval and construction of a Las Vegas-style casino by the Jamul Indian Village (JIV), arguing the project violated the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA), the Indian Reorganization Act (IRA), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Equal Protection provisions of the US Constitution.
The petition filed by the Jamul Action Committee (JAC) to the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) seeking the court to reconsider its October ruling and rehear the case was dismissed.
A case brought up by a group of casino opponents in California against a tribal casino was dismissed by the US Supreme Court twice, putting the end to a nearly decade-long public dispute.
