A Quick Note on Politics, Indian Gaming Lands Litigation, and Permissive Intervention
In the Gila River Indian Community v. United States litigation over proposed gaming lands benefiting the Tohono O’odham Nation, there have been numerous efforts by Arizona state politicians to intervene in the suit. No party seems to want them there, and they don’t seem to be adding a whole lot to the suit in terms of substance, and the court largely had refused to let individual politicians in the case — at first. Here are the first two orders, denying two such requests:
DCT Order Denying Sen Pearce Motion to Intervene
DCT Order Denying Scott Bundgaard Motion to Intervene
On November 19, however, Judge Campbell permitted the intervention of “Legislative Leaders” of the Arizona Legislature. Here is that order: DCT Order Permitting Intervention of Ariz Legislators.
