Is it weird that I see nothing objectionable about this one? Looks solid to me, other than bypassing a Senate vote.

There has to be some Monkey’s Paw here somewhere, but I’m not immediately seeing it.

    Follow the money. There has to be some profit downstream. Otherwise this would be a blanket recognizing for all tribes in the US. Maybe some quid pro quo for some resource, with the threat of removing the status if they don’t comply?

      It was to win North Carolina, of course now that he got the votes, he wants to block them from ever voting again.

        The promise was to get the votes, but to grant that promise suggests more to it.
