This notwithstanding Dan Wallach’s pronouncement that DOI would take a “hard pass” on filing an appeal in support of the Seminole Compact. Why does the media print what Wallach says? He actually knows less about the law than the reporter asking the questions.

I ask because most clients do not want their lawyer out pontificating and taking positions that might not be in their best interest, whether today or tomorrow. In any event, if Mr. Wallach is an attorney, he should be able to understand that the Seminole Tribe is not a party to this lawsuit. That may be confusing but it is true. The Tribe cannot be in violation of a judge’s order in a matter to which the Tribe is not a party. The only entity that can “force” the Seminoles to stope mobile sports wagering is the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC). If the NIGC decides to pursue a closure order, the Seminoles are entitled to due process, and it will take months if not years. Reporters should ask themselves why Mr. Wallach is always to readily available to give a quote – and beware.
