The problem, in my mind, is that the vote was 5-4.

How does a legal question end up being split between party lines? In fact, this became a decision by Kennedy. The 4 liberal judges were going to vote for it, the 4 conservative judges were going to vote against it, so it is down to one person to make a real decision.

I'm sorry, but that is *bleep* up.

I applaud the result, but there is something seriously wrong with the process.

Seems the American Indians see it the same way as those pesky Texans.
I wonder what Mother Earth would think of this?

[maryjane48]

see thats where the cowboys go astray, if you read the whole article not all american indians hold this view , but we know that doesn't fit into your cortez way of thinking , but do keep up the challenge, it is always good for a chuckle

Does this vote mean that one can no longer ASSUME "what Scots wear under their kilt" ??
