Would someone plese esplane something to me about the status of American Injuns: It is my understanding that they don't pay income tax and are allowed to freely engage in gambling on their reservations. So, why are they allowed to VOTE!?! Either our native indians ARE US citizens and subject to ALL of our laws like the rest of us, or they're not part of the process. They shouldn't be allowed to have their cake and eat it too.

BTW, I agree - Johnson SHOULD NOT be seated by the Repubbie controlled sinate - and niether should Lautenberg. The main US Supreme Court case is still open on the NJ situation in case y'all didn't know. The one they turned down was for an "emergency" decision when the torch went out.
