MODERATORS
They ought to have jurisdiction over their land, and anyone who enters it like any other sovereign nation.
The USA should defend its citizens but still submit to rule of law, like we do with other nations we have treaties with…
But it's also within a state and part of a state. The Native Americans want their own rules and laws that the rest of the states law enforcement can't do anything about when on their land. It's why Indians have had casinos when states don't allow them, and why they want non native Americans to show on their land.
They're trying to pick and choose and have things both ways. Making Americans abide by two sets of state laws with different rules and court proceedings and punishments and rights violations isn't an acceptable solution. The Native Americans allow outside people on their land because they want them there. They don't have to allow the public on their land.
This whole dispute gave an example of a discrepancy between tribal law and state law over what you can be arrested for. Stuff would get dicey for a lot of people pretty quickly if a tribe had some unusual laws and punishments on the books that they arrest people for after getting them to show up on their land. It's just too messy to do that way.
Do those areas really count as sovereign nations?
