I was hearing that there are an astounding number of rapes and crimes committed against native American women because the Indian nations have jurisdiction over them, but not outside the reservations, so they should technically be left to the feds or something like that, but it all falls through the cracks on the conflict over whose responsibilities it is.
With a gay-hostile administration I can see federal responsibility being used to make gays more vulnerable much the way the Bush administration has used the EPA to weaken environmental laws. Clearly Steve knows more, but I can see it being a problem.
So Steve, is this one of those stupid political issues that politicians can make a lot of noise about, without accomplishing anything, like when they get angry about violent video games?
