An anti-gaming group with a spotty record has submitted a brief in a land-into-trust case that the U.S. Supreme Court will hear next month.
The court will hear Salazar
v. Patchak on April 24.
At issue is whether a non-Indian who has no connection to the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of
Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan or its gaming site can challenge a land-into-trust application.
Stand Up For California submitted a brief in the case on behalf of a number of local groups in California.
The brief says the land-into-trust process imposes substantial burdens on non-Indians.
The group has frequently exaggerated or overstated the connection between the land-into-trust process and gaming.
