Byron Dorgan: “Is it the case if the Senator from New York does not get a vote and there is a cloture vote that prevails, the Senator…”

It is a travesty! Further, it is a problem that will continue to have negative impacts for generations to come.

I just want to say that I am concerned about the court's decision in Carcieri and the impact it may have on those tribes that were recognized after 1934.

The fundamental problem found in the Dorgan report in 2010 and the findings now before the House is IHS, LEADERSHIP was failing then as it is failing now.

Tribes ceded close to 200 million acres of land during the treaty-making and removal periods prior to 1881.
