"In the end, Texas retreats to the usual redoubt of failing statutory interpretation arguments: an unadorned appeal to public policy"
For the second time in a week the Supreme Court has favored federally recognized First Nations sovereignty.
"Native American Tribes possess “inherent sovereign authority over their members and territories.” Oklahoma Tax Comm’n v. Citizen Band Potawatomi Tribe of Okla., 498 U. S. 505, 509 (1991)"
Now that Texas must allow for some form of gambling on all three federally recognized First Nation territories, you can bet gambling will be introduced during the next legislative session for resort areas. This means SPI just as one example.
Beyond the Supreme Court's soft spot for First Nations, I really have no use for the Court.
That first sentence I quote is kind of like the kettle calling the pot black when it comes to the Supreme Court.
And for the record, no matter what Texas told the Supreme Court computer bingo is played in Texas. 777 charges $25.00 for a computer where you just sit there and do nothing and it tells you if you win.
