Supreme Court may keep alive Navajo Nation water rights claim in Arizona


A divided Supreme Court confronted on Monday the question of whether the government must do more to provide water for the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona.


And the answer, by the narrowest majority, appeared to be yes.

Most of the justices said they were wary of even considering plans to take more water from the mainstream of the drought-stricken Colorado River. But five of them, led by Justices Neil M. Gorsuch and Elena Kagan, mostly agreed with a lawyer who said there was a 150-year history of broken promises to the Navajo Nation.


A treaty signed in 1868 promised a "permanent home" where Navajo Nation residents could farm and raise animals.

That's because the first thing the Roswell extraterrestrials did was eliminate all the intelligent people in southern New Mexico.

You proved what I said by being too dumb to realize that the ETs wouldn't just stay around Roswell.

Gambling With Greed

History repeats itself. The famous Spanish explorer, Coronado, went looking for the fabled Seven Cities of Gold (Indian name Cibola) and finally gave up on the scam after reaching Kansas in 1542. On the way, he discovered the Grand Canyon.

Yeah right... I'm too dumb to know what the ETs wanted. Too funny!
