Marvin and John:
Is it possible, Artman moved the BIA out of the way so the federal dollars can be cut faster/closer oversight?--The BIA has been getting out of many areas for several years now anyway.
The BIA was in the future line of a legal battle over the GEG scam was it not? Wasn't the BIA loan to CNI intended to keep employees working? The GEG deal used some of this BIA money to get started?
Didn't Muskogee BIA agree to allow CNI to take money from this BIA loan? if so, this opens up legal issues from the Cherokees.
As far as the constitution goes and BIA saying ok, this is not such a big deal as the Chief and his slate can change the Constitution to thier whim anyway as it contains many internal procedures.
But, they WILL NEVER CHANGE THE 1866 TREATY!
which opens the door for federal oversight on every dollar given to the Cherokees?
Just my thoughts on the subject and trying to calculate Artman's decision.
Since, we do not really have a firm constitution be it 1976 or 1999. We have no Chief, No Marshal Director, No AG, NO judges and now a fragment of Legisltive Council members. What happens if the Cherokee RIOT and cause a complete OVERTURN OF THE CNO today, this very hour? What happens then?
And Frailey thinks the feds will keep saying here
take this money to the tune of BILLIONS and keep going as we know you Cherokees know how to run your business with no one micromanageing TAX DOLLARS to you?
Just does not add up!
