| Obama Encouraged to Appoint More American Indians to Federal Bench |

The popularity of Indian casinos across California has transformed many tribes into very wealthy corporations, which has brought them considerable political influence (the tribes rank among California's biggest donors to Obama's campaign). Therefore, they are now well-positioned to see some of their wishes come true. Obama has already distinguished himself as he is reportedly the first president to actually include tribal leaders in his considerations. The diversification demanded by the tribes would likely lead to better results in federal cases involving American Indian tribes. "Frequently we find judges and people in administrative positions who don't understand tribal sovereignty," Richard Milanovich, chairman of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, is quoted as saying. JD Diversity will keep an eye on this story and whether any progress with respect to diversity is made in this area. |
