	The Supreme Court's changing stance on tribal sovereignty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-26)
		The Court reasoned that, after conquest by the Europeans and the establishment of the United States, the rights of the tribes to complete sovereignty were diminished, and the tribes' power to dispose of their land was denied.
		The Court's characterization of the tribes as "dependent nations" is the basis for what has been called the trust relationship between the United States and the Indian tribes, through which the federal government protects the tribes from interference and intrusion by state governments and state citizens.
		The Court's reaffirmation of tribal sovereignty in Crow Dog was in large measure responsible for passage of the Major Crimes Act by Congress in 1885 (18 U.S.C. Under the act, seven major crimes--if committed by an Indian in Indian country--were placed within federal jurisdiction, regardless of whether the victim of the crime was an Indian.

		The conservative uprising over the US Supreme Court nomination of Harriet Miers intensified, with influential Republicans predicting a tough confirmation battle in the US Senate and some calling for her name to be withdrawn.

		Harriet Miers, nominated to become a justice of the US Supreme Court, is largely an enigma and that could be a big problem for President George W. Bush, when it comes to getting her confirmed in the US Senate.

		Sent: 10/5/2004 9:00 AM The U.S. Supreme Court opened its new term yesterday and said it would hear arguments Dec. 7 involving two cases challenging New York's and Michigan's bans on interstate, direct-to-consumer shipments of wine.
		Ergo, if the Supreme Court rules in favor of the wineries it would probably just affect those states that allow in-state wineries to ship and they would be forced to either allow out of state wineries to ship or stop allowing in-state shipping.
		The high court was reviewing Michigan and New York state laws that limited the ability of wineries to take advantage of Internet and telephone sales to sell their products directly to consumers who couldn't otherwise obtain the wine through their home state's alcohol distribution system.
