Part of Oklahoma (kind of) secedes from the United States
 

The Supreme Court ruled today that a big chunk of Oklahoma is actually a Native American reservation, including most of Tulsa. Apparently this impacts what laws apply, so state law may not exist in Tulsa any more.

Link below. Apparently the Muscogee Indians argued that their reservation was never officially taken away when Oklahoma became a state. The government believed that statehood rendered the reservation moot, but the Supreme Court disagrees. So as of today we now have an enormous reservation that apparently controls Tulsa, and I bet they buy Dan Snyder's team once they kill off all of the illegal settlers and take their stuff.

I wonder about the other Indian lands now. It seems like other Indian tribes can make the same argument.

So the only remaining (kind of) state of Oklahoma is the panhandle?

If the local tribes are savvy then they'd turn Tulsa into a tax haven.

It's hard to figure out, but I think the new reservation is the Muscogee area in the middle of the map. I think there are other reservations that exist already, too. But I'm wondering if all of those Indian lands in the map will hop on the bandwagon.

Wellll we all know we ****ed over the Indians. Here lay down your arms. We will give you this worthless land. Binding legal agreements signed. Later it has value, sorry our bad, GTFO

I guess the residents in these areas will have to be put on a long march somewhere to be relocated.

I'm curious what happens if you own a house or business there. Doesn't the tribe own everything on the reservation? I could be wrong on that, and maybe different tribes do things differently.

That would be unprecedented. Well, almost.

Apparently this all came about because a convicted pedophile argued that the state couldn't prosecute him because the land was actually Native land and not the state. He threw up a complete hail mary that's going to cause all sorts of problems, and may actually work for him.

The Navajo land in northern Arizona is a separate entity.

I thought this was interesting:

LMAO well played sir, well played.:thumb:

I've driven through it. It's weird as hell, pulling people over to search their cars like the border in Mexico

Everyone currently living on the reservation, including all of Tulsa, can vote to be part of Oklahoma. Problem solved.

Let's invade!
