Despite several back-to-back legal victories for the Nation, its opponents are not backing down.
"Throughout this process, the Nation has played by the rules and provided the clear facts, resulting in nine straight favorable decisions from courts and federal agencies," Chairman Ned Norris said. "Both the truth and the law are on the Nation's side, as has been demonstrated again and again in the courts."
Franks' office did not return calls for comment.
