Because the facts are the facts. The Attny General of the Biden Administration could have conceded the case and the water rights at any point Biden wanted. Biden chose to do the same thing Trump, Obama, and Bush did. The same thing every US president has always done when the indigenous folks rouse some rabble about the promises we made to them.
The treaties aren’t some secret, they were written down and you can read them for yourself. The people signing it agreed on the words to communicate their intentions. Make your own opinion and decide whether Bidens administration fought this over the genuine intentions of the promises made in the treaty, or over the modern interests of current and future non-indigenous voters. Think for yourself, form your own opinion rather than wringing your hands over the optics of the headline.
The Federal government has been hellbent on killing off the remaining Native Americans for the entirety of its existence. They can’t do it with force, so they do it with legislation.
The moment the last Native American leaves their reservation is the moment fuckin’ Exxon or Nestle or some other cuntcorp rolls in to assrape the environment there.
