US Supreme Court rules in Carcieri - and it's not good for tribes recognized after 1934

Just out - the US Supreme Court has issued a long-awaited ruling in the Carcieri case, and the news isn't good for any tribe recognized after 1934 that wanted to put land into trust, a common practice for tribes that want to do economic development on such lands (usually resorts and casinos, and most usually big business).  See the full story on Indian Country Today HERE. And you can find the full text of the decision HERE.
