Let me tell you something about courts, based on 24 years experience in them--if they can sidestep an issue instead of ruling on it, they will. When they ruled that the Wampanoags didn't have standing back in the 70s, it was an easy way to sidestep an issue. If they have to rule on the issue now, how do you think it will go--in favor of bankrupting every title insurance company in New England, displacing thousands of people and throwing Mashpee's tax base into chaos, or in favor of a handful of tribal dissidents, most of whom have as much "native American" blood in them as I do?

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
