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

As an Indigenous attorney from the global South, I choose to wake up in the “iron cold” of Federal Indian Law and fight for basic human rights to apply to Indigenous Peoples. Even so, it’s crushing to hear #Brackeen as #GibsonDunn attempts to erode #ICWA and #TribalSovereignty.🧵
I’ve litigated #ICWA cases with @BenRundallEsq in AZ, and even in a state with 22 federally recognized Tribes, it was abundantly clear that courts aren’t competent to respect protections meant to remedy the historical wrongs of taking Indigenous children away from their families.
🧵Encouraged that the #SCOTUS orders today continue to affirm our treaty rights & honor judicial precedent. The Court today DENIED 31 👀 petitions from Oklahoma seeking to overturn #McGirt – the ruling that affirmed our reservation & #sovereignty #PrecedentNotPolitics 🧵
Oklahoma – not winning w/ petitions to overturn #McGirt at U.S. Supreme Court
It’s clear that now is the time for implementation not litigation.

The time is long past due for Oklahoma Gov. Stitt to shut down his political campaign of obstruction and work with us to embrace a better future. This January, I hope the Supreme Court will take the opportunity to tell him so.

Before the ink was dry on [McGirt], politicians began pressing the Supreme Court to reverse itself…
Stepping in now would damage the Court, condone bad behavior by the State, and rob Oklahomans of the opportunity for more safety and prosperity.
