🧵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.

#TribalSovereignty #ImplementationNOTLitigation #Collaboration
Tough to celebrate U.S. Supreme Court’s DENIAL today of 31 👀 petitions to overturn #McGirt when MILLIONS $$ state taxpayer wasted on losing litigation. How many millions spent from $10 million fund, @GovStitt?

Time for Okla to start spending on implementation not litigation.
Page 7: This is what millions of taxpayer dollars wasted on losing litigation looks like.

U.S. Supreme Court today DENIES 31 Oklahoma lawsuits to overturn #McGirt.

Oklahoma Governor's Attack on Judicial Precedent Should Not Prevail

An open letter from Muscogee (Creek) Nation Principal Chief David Hill on the U.S. Supreme Court’s consideration today of McGirt challenges tinyurl.com/yc2pujz

Excerpts in this 🧵

#McGirt #SCOTUS
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.

#McGirt #SCOTUS #Precedent #TribalSovereignty
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.

Principal Chief David Hill:
The City of Tulsa’s insertion of itself into the Governor’s unrelenting and untethered-to-facts push to provoke the US Supreme Court to overturn its McGirt ruling seems to be little more than political theater.
🧵 excerpts #McGirt #Tulsa
City of Tulsa attorneys last week seized the opportunity to send the U.S. Supreme Court a rehashed, recycled version of their year-ago rejected argument against key pillars of tribal sovereignty.
We are disappointed, but not surprised.
The fiction in the City of Tulsa’s legal filing that the McGirt ruling is bad for Indians is insulting, at best. Patently false. And, racist, at worst. Those who adhere to that storyline are on the wrong path.

“The law of the land – as affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the ‘McGirt’ case – is working.”
Muscogee Nation Principal Chief David Hill’s editorial in Sept. 5 @TheOklahoman
🧵 w/link and excerpts
#Sovereignty #McGirt #PromiseNotaProblem #Oklahoma #SCOTUS
“What’s not working is the Governor and Attorney General’s fear-mongering, misdirection (bold statements on ‘McGirt,’ silence on the state’s COVID-driven healthcare crisis), and a litany of legal actions designed to overturn the ruling.” – Hill
“The ruling last year had the effect of re-affirming key elements of our tribal sovereignty that were ignored by Oklahoma for 114 years.” – Hill

The Muscogee Nation has a few updates and corrections to the remarks that Oklahoma Governor Stitt delivered today at the Tulsa Regional Chamber of Commerce’s annual State of the State meeting. Long 🧵 #MuscogeeReservation #APromiseNotAProblem #McGirt
We limit our focus here to the Governor’s statements about the effects of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2020 ruling in the landmark McGirt v. Oklahoma case that had the effect of re-affirming our tribal sovereignty.
 First, “McGirt” is not the biggest problem or threat to Oklahoma.
The implementation of changes in criminal jurisdiction and other matters is under way. Yesterday’s sentencing of Jimcy McGirt in U.S. District Court to 3 life sentences is a prime example of an orderly process that preserves public safety and delivers justice in the lawful venue.

Welcome @GovStitt to the Muscogee Reservation for your State of the State address @TulsaChamber on this historic day that marks justice served in a new era of affirmed tribal sovereignty and jurisdictional clarity.
Yesterday’s sentencing of Jimcy McGirt to 3 life terms in federal prison – and the U.S. attorneys’ actions to ensure this man’s uninterrupted imprisonment – is a prime example of an orderly process that preserves public safety and delivers justice in the lawful, appropriate venue
We commend the diligence of the USAO in prosecuting this case and the federal judge for preserving justice for the victims of these heinous crimes. Here for all to see today is an affirming reality that flies in the face of the continuing dissonance of chaos and fear-mongering.
