The one that will remind everyone that the Constitution is the United States' government and that anyone in either of the three branches is an employee of the Constitution. Some of those employees of the Constitution have dropped the ball.All matters dealing with the Indian tribes is specified in the Constitution as being in the purview of Congress (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3; and the President (Article II,Section 2, Clause 2). My point being that the Feral Government has dropped the ball regarding its obligations regarding the several Indian tribes. Oklahoma should not have had to get involved at all. This did happen on tribal land. If the victim of the crime was not a citizen of a tribe, an extradition agreement of some sort ought to exist to enable exacting justice. Treaties can and should exist between the tribes and the Feral Government regarding any and all such matters of this magnitude - and probably of a general nature as well. If any of the several tribes wish to maintain sovereignty, they must hold their citizens accountable same as the several states have laws and justice systems to hold their citizens accountable.Proper treaties would assure the safety and accountability of all citizens. That said, I don't believe two or more sovereignties can lay claim to and exist on the same land. It is untenable. It ain't workin' for the Israelis and Palestinians, and won't work here.Woody</blockquote>
