I love it when an Activist Judge gets slapped down.

Looks like the Indians will get screwed again.
I'm hoping that Judge Lamberth will finally allow the Bureau of Indian Affairs to reinstate their websites.. they have been shut down now for 3 years by his order and you cannot get ANY information about the BIA. And for us Native Americans, that really sucks..
Lambeth s a good guy.
What do you mean excellent? The BIA lost BILLIONS of dollars that was held in "trust" for indians - it was the Indians' money, not the feds, not taxpayers - it was the Indians' money, and they lost it, stole it, or otherwise misappropriated it.
If you think that is "EXCELLENT", then you belong on a Liberal Board, not a conservative one.
This is one of the decent judges. He held Bruce Babbitt for contempt for lying over the mishandling (lost millions of dollars) of trust money. The dept of Interior has never been able to explain what happened to it.
-"...account for billions of dollars the Indians say they are owed."-
We don't owe you squat. We conquered this land, and we didn't have to give you anything. Not only that, your "people" would've died out a long time ago were it not for civilization. In addition, gambling casinos AREN'T a proud Native American tradition.
