#1 Hell, just negotiate a revenue sharing deal and the state will use the Kelo decision for acquring the land for you. Its is easier to PO a couple landowners to avoid raising taxes in an election year which will PO even more people.

#2 Can you say "statute of limitations"? Nevermind, we're talking greed here. While we are at it I think maybe somebody and some governments (shawnee actually on the first two counts) killed, maimed, enslaved or cheated my ancestors at some time so gimme gimme gimme gimme. Do I get a cut of the casino's take? I know my ancestors would be proud to know I am honoring our long cultural history by seeking to open a modern casino! Isn't that what it's all about? I mean the redress of all the wrongs and largely self-inflicted suffering that kept my people from opening a casino for generations?! Where's Ward Churchill when you need em?

#3 I once had an argument with my brother in law, a died in the wool liberal. He was defending (verbally) a case in New York where they were trying this same stunt against some property owners. He was all high and mighty on me until I reminded him that his own property was once Indian territory. Conversation over.
