"Does the Jicarilla decision erode Tribal rights and/or Federal trust responsibility to Tribes?"

"a Carcieri fix is my high priority. And I think it will help resolve, you know, many problems that are there now."

"The question of the Federal Government's responsibility to Tribes is worth examining."
