1. Same old story

White America doing what they do best, screwing the natives still. Some things never change.

2. Didn't the Bushster himself say these tribes were SOVEREIGN?

It's the only thing he could think of to say actually, over and over...

"Meanwhile, officials in upstate New York continued to celebrate. They said the decision allows them to impose taxes on the Oneida Nation because the court ruled the tribe cannot "unilaterally" assert sovereignty over its 250,000-acre land claim area."
