I’ve also questioned the legality of tribes donating to political candidates. Federal law prohibits contributiins from foreign nations. If the tribes are sovereign nations, doesn’t that sort of make them foreign nations?
Well, one would think so, but then they would argue that they’re the “First Nations” (like in Canada), and that we’re the foreign nation on this continent, and that they have the right to interfere in our affairs. Gives you a headache thinking about it...
