Supreme Court
For the state of Oklahoma, the McGirt Fiasco continues. In June, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the city of Tulsa on the issue of a speeding ticket issued to a motorist who turned out to be a Choctaw Indian in what is supposedly a Creek Indian reservation. On August 4th, the Supreme […]
In 2020, the Supreme Court handed down an extremely misguided decision, McGirt v. Oklahoma, which wound up having over 40% of the state’s territory being considered Indian reservation land. (For more information, see my McGirt file here). It’s absolutely ridiculous to consider Tulsa, Oklahoma, as Indian reservation land. And now, the Tenth Circuit has handed down […]
By statehood in 1907, all Indian reservations in Oklahoma were abolished. But in the Supreme Court’s McGirt decision in 2020, the Creek reservation is still, at least for criminal law purposes, a reservation. This was expanded to also refer to the Cherokee, Seminole, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Quapaw tribes, which are now also said to have reservations. It’s […]

Two years ago, in McGirt v. Oklahoma, the Supreme Court ruled that the Muscogee Tribe of Oklahoma still has an Indian reservation. This led to the current legal understanding that six Oklahoma tribes have reservations, comprising 43% of Oklahoma’s territory, including the city of Tulsa. It’s a preposterous ruling which may leads to all sorts […]
Two years ago, the Supreme Court imposed a revolutionary ruling on the state of Oklahoma, and it’s still unraveling. In McGirt v. Oklahoma, and its companion case Sharp v. Murphy, the Supreme Court decreed that the Creek (Muscogee) Indian reservation had never been abolished and still exists. That understanding was expanded to declare that the […]

Can you believe it? After all these decades, the Supreme Court has struck down Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that forced abortion on the whole country. As a result of today’s Supreme Court decision, abortion law is back in the hands of state governments. There’s a moral here. Positive change is not […]
This is incredible and another evidence of how this country is becoming a joke. The Supreme Court refused to hear a case originating in Kansas about voter ID, thus leaving intact a lower court ruling which forbids demanding documentary proof of citizenship in order to register to vote. Isn’t that incredible? In contrast, in Mexico, […]
