The Bay Mills tribe’s case regarding opening a casino downstate is going to be taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court, which could solve some longstanding legal issues.
Excerpt: The United States Supreme Court will hear today in a fight over a tribal casino in a small, northern Michigan town. But there’s more than a casino at stake. The case revolves around the sovereign right of tribal governments to be immune from lawsuits.
The Bay Mills tribe wants to open a casino more than 100 miles from its reservation in Chippewa County in the eastern Upper Peninsula. The state of Michigan says it can’t, and sued in federal court to stop it.
