If? SCOTUS literally just said it's valid. Today.
As far as what's going to happen, presumably the state legislature, congress, and the Tribal government(s) are going to come to some kind of deal. I'm no expert. I'm just reacting to the vaguely racist paranoia in the headline that has people freaking out that they'll suddenly be Ruled by Indians.
- wwright 6y agoI said _treat_ it as valid. There are many valid laws we don't treat as valid (such as international ones). It was a genuine question though; I was wondering if someone more knowledgeable than I knew how it would be handled :)

- IncRnd 6y agoI agree 100% with your point but would just make one change to the wording. The Bill of Rights isn't made up of laws.
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoWell, they have binding legal force. They are Law. So, a kind of Super Law.
- IncRnd 6y agoThey are Amendments that enshrine rights and limit the Federal Government. Amendments take more than a simple majority to pass, which is all a law takes.
- IncRnd 6y agoInternational Laws should not be expected to have juirisdiction inside of the United States.
- wwright 6y agoThat is certainly the opinion of the United States ;) (I'm referring to the laws being ignored by the US government itself, to be clear)
- IncRnd 6y agoAh, yes. I see. There is no doubt that the Federal Government ignores a number of Federal laws. More importantly, I believe, they ignore the US Constitution and Amendments.
