“Kennedy predicts ‘Carcieri fix’ bill might pass”: Today’s edition of The Providence (R.I.) Journal contains an article that begins, “Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy said Thursday that a bill to reverse a U.S. Supreme Court decision blocking special land status for the Narragansett Indian tribe could become law during this Congress.”
From ProJo:
WASHINGTON — Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy said Thursday that a bill to reverse a U.S. Supreme Court decision blocking special land status for the Narragansett Indian tribe could become law during this Congress.
Democrat Kennedy also declared his support for such legislation — the only member of Rhode Island’s congressional delegation to do so.
Enactment of the legislation — which may have implications for tribes across the country — is “likely to happen” if supporters of the measure are able to attach it to a major piece of legislation that is certain to pass both houses of Congress, Kennedy said.
