I have a quarter section in SE oklahoma (highlighted in RED there). Cattle, barns, house etc. and we spend about half our retirement there. Quarter next to us is owned by Choctaw. They do nothing at all with it. Zero. Life goes on.

Honestly this surprised me only because we have family members on a rez and it was always Fed jurisdiction. Tribal police make arrests, the tribal council/court handled basically minor cases like speeding, drunk and disorderly etc, serious misdemeanors and felonies were handled by the Feds. White guy getting in a fight on at the Casino or in a bar on the rez was turned over to the local Sheriff.

I suspect this individual will be handed over from the State Department of Corrections to the Feds.

We took their slaves. Indians never agreed to 13th Amendment. Oklahoma statehood is invalid.

Roberts is convincing. Starts page 46, runs for 37 pages.

But meh, if Gorsuch cared a whit about “originalism” he wouldn’t have published his fantasy that the authors of the 1964 civil rights act had bearded men in dresses and two dudes having anal sex in mind when they wrote the law.


Gorsuch is in the vanguard here. This is the future of the GOP: support for Leftist decisions/polices constructed with right leaning “logic.” It’s very similar to how the left took over our other institutions. Churches in particular.

Economy of Explanation is one of The Tests Of Truth.

37 pages isn’t Economy of Explanation.

I won’t be surprised if 10 years from now land that was “stolen” from the Native Americans is taken back, without compensation, and given to their descendents.

>> Indians never agreed to 13th Amendment. Oklahoma statehood is invalid. <<

You could make an even more clear-cut case that "Hawaiian statehood is invalid" if you wanted to look at what happened at the time the Hawaiian islands shifted to U.S. control. Hell, I think even the President at the time (McKinley?) said it was an illegal coup by the U.S. military and a federal "investigation" declared the U.S. basically overthrew the duly chosen Hawaiian monarch. They ordered the military to cease and deist, which of course was ignored.

It would be hilarious if someone brought federal suit (petition on behalf of the modern day descendants of the Hawaiian royal family) and the Supreme Court ruled in their favor and declared the United States has no sovereignty over the Kingdom of Hawaii, telling all the RAT Senators and Congressmen that their title no longer exists and they should go home.

>> Roberts is convincing. Starts page 46, runs for 37 pages. <<

Huh? I guess I will have to read the entire 37 page argument, I'm now confused. FReepers scream bloody murder at Roberts and howl about Bush appointing him, but Roberts voted with the three other conservatives on this one and OPPOSED putting vast areas of Oklahoma under Indian rule. GORSUCH was the one saying the U.S. government had no jurisdiction over those areas and voted with the four Marxist judges that Indian reservations were the supreme authority there.

How this all works out is a interesting theoretical logistic question, which I suppose will now have to be implemented in real life. The article says "nearly all" of Tulsa. So SOME isolated parts of the city are still under U.S. rule? How does that even work? It reminds me of the kooky proposals to dice up Jerusalem and make parts of "east Jerusalem" the capitol of a future "Palestinian state", nevermind the fact that there are Muslim neighborhoods and residents in the "Jewish region" of Jerusalem, and vice versa.

Doing a brief google search, Tulsa is Oklahoma's second largest city with nearly 400,000 people, and the latest demographics state that 5.3% of the city is American indian. I can't imagine the remaining 95% of the residents will be too please to learn they are now under the rule of the Muscogee Nation.

Irritating 90s pop band Hanson is from Tulsa, they can play "Hail to the Chief" to this guy:

Also, I remember reading a while back that most Indian tribes in the mainland U.S. refuse to legalize or recognize gay marriage. I wonder if there's a chance of a "silver lining" there. ;-)

Do the creeks teach Christian values to there children? Do they protect their children from LGBTQI predators? Do they outlaw abortion, and reward the institution of marriage?

Heck, I could live in a teepee with my family...
