Obama: Let courts decide Cherokee freedmen issue
Tulsa, Oklahoma (AP)
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama believes Congress should not get involved in the Cherokee Nation’s efforts to disenroll descendants of the tribe’s former slaves until after pending court cases are resolved. “As it stands, the rights of the Cherokee Freedmen are not being abrogated because there is an injunction in place that ensures the freedmans’ rights to programs during the pendency of the litigation,” Obama said in a statement issued May 10 to the Tulsa World’s Washington bureau. “I do not support efforts to undermine these legal processes and impose a congressional solution.” |
