This seems like a reasonable ruling, it’s impact is what will be interesting over the next couple years.
When it comes right down to it, exactly how damaging is it to allow the Indians to hunt out of season safely and within reason?
This is just another attempt by the lamestream liberal media to tear down Gorsuch with Conservatives. From what I have read his decision is right in line with past rulings on tribal rights and should have surprised no one.
recently, Gorsuch has een the 5th vote with the liberals on important Indian law cases.
His reasoning seems to me to be something along the lines of, “a deal’s a deal”.
All conservatives should agree with that.
I think Gorsuch is in the right here.
What is perplexing to me is why the conservatives are on the other side.
The liberals of course unable to actually reason legally probably just see this as a race case, so of course they are going to side with the Indians.
My guess would be that Gorsuch in fact is the only person on the court right now handling Indian law cases as a true conservative should.
That said, I don’t know anything about the conservatives’ dissent.
Perhaps someone here could illuminate that.
That’s what I dont get.
If it’s a treaty we made, and it hasn’t been overturned....then what was the conservative ruling supposed to be?
Good God. You and me and Gorsuch and four Flaming Liberal Justices agreeing on a ruling.
I'm embarrassed, but it is the way I'd have voted.
We screwed the Indians every way but inside out, let them hunt, including in Central Park in Manhattan and see how the liberal judges rule!
How about “Liberals at SCOTUS side with Gorsuch”.
Or how about - SCOTUS sides with the position that U.S. treaties as defined by the Constitution are part of the “supreme law of the land”, and meant to be upheld on equal footing as the Constitution itself.
Agree. I don’t see the issue.
The Indians want it all ways in their favor. If you ‘trespass’ in Red Lake where they have control over part of the lake you can lose your boat if you do not pay a big fine.
Meanwhile they use nets to catch walleye and everything else in Millacs lake where the American fisherman are restricted to how many fish they can have and what size they have to be to keep.
we have a problem with fish runs here in the NW......never ever do they talk about the gil netting that disrupts the runs....
but sure as shootin they'll close down fishing because of poor fish numbers...
and yes, there is more to it than that but why should anyone even talk about "management" if they are not allowed to manage the fish/wildlife....
Everything BUT lands that were reserved for military use were to be turned over to their respective states when they were granted statehood.
So it seems the fedgov wants it both ways.
As usual.
