What power does the federal judge have to shut down a business?

Where've you been? Judges are voiding state laws upholding traditional marriages and voter ID laws.

THEY'VE GOT DA POWER! < /Snap >

A federal judge closed a Central California casino after an armed showdown between tribal factions caused many gamblers to flee with chips left on the tables.

I love living in this country! The Biggest Freak Show on Earth!

This gives those Injuns extra time off to celebrate Columbus Day.

One of the best Sopranos episodes was the one where Italians (mobsters) were fighting the Indians over Columbus Day and the Indian tribal leader was trying to get Tony Soprano to get Frankie Valli to perform at his casino

“What power does the federal judge have to shut down a business?”

My first thought as well. The answer is almost certainly none, but in obamaland laws and the Constitution don’t matter.

“It’s sovereign Native American territory. Just stand back and let them have at it.”

Probably the most sane post this entire thread will see.

It’s most likely internal reserve squabbling. Let the Indians settle their own arguments about which group will hold power over the Casino profits.

I had a catsbird seat over one reserve squabble, and Indians are not afraid to call out heavily armed factions to confront each other. If white authority gets in the way - look out. That warning applies to judges, state highway patrol and sheriffs.

Many years ago before Indian casinos there were some NY upstate Mohawk (I believe) Indians selling gasoline and not paying state sales taxes. Governor Mario Cuomo sent state police cruisers to sit by the entrances to this reservation.......

Which spooked all buyers of cut rate gasoline into staying the h away

Federal Judge Palpatine is not concerned with petty things like Constitutions and laws.
