And less government intrusion and BS laws and socialism, and keeping more freedoms that are practically NONexistent...

If McInsane is on the ballot for POTUS later on, I have no reason to bother with the GOP.

Jeez. Sounds like the Indians have the state government bought and paid for up there.

That's great! If the folks on the religion threads are right, and there is indeed a just and merciful God...the Native Americans who were ass raped by the white man for 450 years will get rich selling the crop they discovered and cultivated 5 centuries ago (tobacco)by selling it and making a fortune and catering to their consumers of the crop. Meanwhile, white men like Spitzer and Bloomberg, and the states who are addicted to the tobacco MSA payments will become poor and beg them for money. At that point, we should all turn our lives over to Jesus. It would prove THERE IS A GOD!

Many tribes already provide these services to themselves.

True in some cases I'm sure, but many of these casinos pull resources from outside their "sovereign states." In Milwaukee there's no Potawatomi tribal resources, and in Green Bay the Oneida's pull from Ashwaubenon, not their own tribal departments. I'd imagine that the Potawatomi Indian Casino pulls more than its fair share of police, fire and ambulance services from the city of Milwaukee, but instead all we hear here is how Walmart is ruining the community because it requires some of the same.

Sorry - But the sovereignty of the indian nations was established via treaty with the federal government. I'm not sure if your comment was tongue-in-cheek, but the sovereignty of the nations trumnps state and local - and federal, to some extent - laws.

Yes, tongue in cheek. BUT - if all of these heavy-handed laws such as smoking prohibitions, are so great - wouldn't everyone embrace them including sovereign nations within the US?

The casinos in Colorado got a free pass, smoking allowed, and they aren't owned by the Indians.
