Some bad news for Indian Country as U.S. Supreme Court rules that tribes do not enjoy sovereign immunity in federal bankruptcy proceedings.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson authors the court's opinion.
Decision is 8-1, with Justice Neil Gorsuch the lone voice in support of tribes.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson authors the court's opinion.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson:"Under our precedents, we will not find an abrogation of tribal sovereign immunity unless Congress has conveyed its intent to abrogate in unequivocal terms. That is a high bar. But for the reasons explained below, we find it has been satisfied here."
Justice Clarence Thomas, naturally, chimes in with this nugget of wisdom: "As I have explained, to the extent that tribes possess sovereign immunity at all, that immunity does not extend to 'suits arising out of a tribe’s commercial activities conducted beyond its territory.'"

BREAKING: California appeals court rules that Manson family member Leslie Van Houten should be released on parole. The decision overturns Gov. Gavin Newsom's previous denial of parole for Van Houten in 2020.
Van Houten has been recommended for parole five times since 2016, but her requests were denied by either Newsom or former Gov. Jerry Brown. 🏛️ The Second District Court of Appeal ruled 2-1 in favor of granting her parole. #appealscourt #California
Gov. Newsom claimed that Van Houten still poses a danger to society, but the appellate court found no evidence to support his conclusions. ⚖️ California Attorney General Rob Bonta could ask the California Supreme Court to stop Van Houten's release. #court #SupremeCourt
