His argument relies upon the Major Crimes Act, which gives federal authorities – not state courts – jurisdiction over crimes involving a Native American on Native American land. The major dispute was whether McGirt’s crimes were committed on a reservation – the majority of the court ruled that they did. According to an 1866 treaty, the land on which McGirt committed his crime was given to Native Americans and was described as a reservation.
In his dissenting opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts argued that the reservation land was “disestablished.” Tribal leaders insist that the decision will be less destabilizing than critics have feared. They note that the ruling does not change land ownership in eastern Oklahoma. Creek Nation officials are working with state and federal officials to design a public safety and regulatory agreement between the separate governments to maintain the area.Gorsuch wrote that under the Constitution, states have no authority to reduce reservations within their borders – that can only be done by Congress.
Most likely bad news. The feds are harsh. In fact you serve 95% of your time vs 60% in state. Bad
WTF is happening to our country?!?
Need to give Manhattan back to the Indians as well to clean up that mess de Blasio is making of NYC.
This is substantial!
Good. The Feds don’t play.
Warning: there is no parole in federal prison system. You go on trial, you lose, you serve every single day, and if you are wrongly convicted with no chance to over turn the ruling, you are stuck. So is this a good thing? Is it?
So....they will be felons for a parking ticket. WOW.
Trump can't always get what he wants ...
Rapists rejoice!
give it back to them!
The entire land is theirs if one reads history ?
WilliamTroast Not sure why people are panicking about this. Oklahoma should have taken care of this a long time ago. Now they're shamed into taking care of it. Also, federal courts, and federal sentencing, are far worse than local.
Congrats lawyers. Using the rape of a child to push legislation. Disgusting.
It means more than that.
Does that mean most Oklahomanians are trespassing?
So, if I'm caught with a pistol, which i bought legally and went through the right doors with my clean record. I'm caught with a magazine in the pistol, im tried federally? And they say Black people are suppressed.
They did this because of a pedophile?
Wow! Gorsuck turns out to be an idiot!
Trump’s response when he was told about this decision in words he could understand ? 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Wow, so you can drive any speed then.

The Chicago Blackhawks won't change nickname because it honors the life of an actual Native AmericanWith pressure mounting on the NFL's Washington Redskins to change its team name due to its racist connotations, an NHL team also under scrutiny is standing behind its name. Good! No need to. Anyo e can be offended over anything They would if it were the Chicago blacks, Chicago wetbacks, Chicago Jews, Chicago chinks. Unbelievable that they can be openly racist towards NativeAmerican people. Where's all the support for NativeAmericans? We're not black so nobody cares. We're the most suppressed people! The name doesnot not honor anybody. It is as discriminatory as calling a team of sccer the whithie crackers or the ozarks red necks.
