MasterCaster - To quote Bill Clinton - "I feel your pain". And you are right, the US has had less than a stellar history of honoring treaties. However, those treaties that we abrogated are all between the US and another country. It becomes much more difficult (probably impossible) to unilaterally abrograte a treaty when both sides have standing before the US Courts. I doubt very much that Congress could abrogate the Medicine Cr. Treaty (and the others that form the basis of the Boldt Decision) without a legal challenge. Like it or not, the Tribes do have the right to take a case to the Supreme Court. The other signers of the NPT did not. And that is no small point - it changes the whole ballgame.
