The Supreme Court has denied a hearing on a bitter Indian casino battle
The legendary Comanche won’t be getting their day before the U.S. Supreme Court after the justices this week denied the tribe’s petition to be heard on legal issues arising from a bitter dispute over Washington’s handling of Indian casino applications in Oklahoma.
In fact, the Comanche were blindsided that construction was already underway on the new Chickasaw casino before Interior published the required public notice in the summer of 2017. The result cost the Comanche precious time in seeking relief, and it’s haunted their efforts since in the federal courts.
As it happens, the justices still have a second Indian law case pending before them that’s also rooted in Oklahoma. The legal arguments presented in the Comanche’s petition include a footnote directly referencing that case. And depending on how the court rules, the outcome could yet provide some legal footing for the Comanche in future litigation in the lower courts.
