Turtle Talk has a blog up here.
I found this statement a little unsettling:
The two sources say, to Cantor’s credit, his staff has said they’re willing to try to come up with other solutions to responding to violence against women on tribal lands, as long as the solution doesn’t give tribes jurisdiction over the matter. But proponents of the Senate bill see the limited jurisdictional change as the only realistic way to address the problem.

To Cantor’s credit, he’s willing to come up with solutions…
…as long as the solution doesn’t give tribes jurisdiction…
In other words, “we can’t trust those Indians to know what is best for them, so Big White Brother has to keep his thumb over them and decide what is best for them…” /snark
Meanwhile, women are being brutalized by non-native men who know they can violate them without punishment. A free-for-all.

What’s wrong with a sovereign nation having jurisdiction over non-citizens who visit their lands and violate their peoples?
Rosie, I’m not sure what you’re trying to say with your comment?
I am definitely for the Native Americans having jurisdiction over their land and the people, Native or non, who violate the law. Absolutely.
I hope I didn’t come across as believing Cantor is right in his view, because that wasn’t my intent of the post.
Thanks for your comment.
