Guess that rally was worthless because Tulsa is part of an Indian reservation. Very interesting ruling and opinion.

Anybody who has ever committed a federal crime in this half of Oklahoma should file to have their conviction overturned.

It's the other way around. The effect of the court ruling is that any Native American who was convicted by the state for crimes perpetrated in that part of the state was convicted by a state court that had no jurisdiction. They would all need to be tried in federal court. The federal government always had jurisdiction.

This was an oversight that, in the past, Congress would correct fairly quickly. But there's no way today that anyone is going to follow through with the dis-establishment of the reservation as was initially intended. So this gets complicated. But not armageddon complicated.

Thats what it should have said, but as usual this court writes opinions that muddy the waters.

Today we are asked whether the land these treaties promised remains an Indian reservation for purposes of federal criminal law. Because Congress has not said otherwise, we hold the government to its word,” Gorsuch wrote in a decision joined by the court’s liberal members.

The lawsuit was a state issue, until that little nugget.

This also probably means that we will see a Black Hills delegation in congress.

Also, its a bit problematic to me that Roberts loosely referenced common law in his dissent.

"A century of practice confirms that the Five Tribes’ prior domains were extinguished,” Roberts wrote. “The State has maintained unquestioned jurisdiction for more than 100 years."

Uhhhhhh, if that had been part of the majority opinion who knows what kind of precedent that could have set.

this whole situation is just really weird. 2020 has been anything but dull

So that loss doesn't count anymore since they cheated.
