It seems Gray and Cruz spent yesterday wooing the Indian tribes with gambling casinos. In return for their generous political contributions they are being promised seats on the state gambling commision.

Question: If Indian reservations are not subject to federal or state gambling regulations because they are "sovereign nations", why are they allowed to contribute to political campaigns? I thought "foreign" contributions were prohibited.
