I am not American Indian, but I know many treaties made by the Great White Fathers in Washington were not much better than toilet paper when expansion happened.

This hunting variance is a pretty minor concession for the USA to make.

I think Justice Gorsuch recognized the pre-eminence of treaties in our rule of law. IMHO he ruled well

I agree.

Our side has as many stupid people as their side.

I see an actual advantage for judge to have the appearance of impartiality.

I don’t really know how Roberts has been voting, but on the big issues, like ACA, he’s got it wrong.

I am also not an American Indian (I am a native American, having been born in the USA), but I agree wholeheartedly with this decision. How convenient it would be for the feds to agree to a treaty, only to then have the ground covered by the treaty made into a state and - presto, chango - suddenly the treaty doesn’t apply anymore. No - the land was given up to US sovereignty under this particular condition, and the condition needs to be honored. Paleface should NOT speak with forked tongue - we’ve built a civilization based upon the rule of law, an important part of which is to be able to count on the rules being applied the same way in 100 years as they are today, and as they were 100 years ago.

Oh, and the title of this story/thread is definitely clickbait. This is a very insignificant decision, and I don’t actually view it as a liberal vs. conservative one.

I agree, correct decision.
