U.S. Supreme Court expands state power over Native American tribesWASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday dramatically increased the power of states over Native American tribes and undercut its own 2020 ruling that had expanded tribal authority in Oklahoma, handing a victory to Republican officials in that state. In a 5-4 decision authored by conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the court ruled in favor of Oklahoma in its bid to prosecute Victor Castro-Huerta, a non-Native American convicted of child neglect in a crime committed against a Native American child - his 5-year-old stepdaughter - on the Cherokee Nation reservation. This so good, otherwise people will try to use their ' cards' to get away with crimes. This is a victory for justice!

Criminals were going unpunished or even arrested.

The justices voted 6 to 3 that such prayer does not amount to an official 'establishment''of religion. Does the opposing coach have an equally protected right to simultaneously occupy the same publicly owned space to thank an alternative spiritual being for allowing his team to prevail in the game? If conflict then ensues, who gets arrested for creating a public disturbance?
