And always have been. They’ve also had and will have good health care of all kinds, which imo is an even larger problem for the non-rich in Red states. Planned Parenthood, for instance, provided a lot of mammograms and other “women’s health” issues… and Red states are shutting them down right and left because, “They believe in abortion” (or some such claptrap). Of course they’re also being shut down because they offer guidance about contraception.
To all here who thought that the Indian Reservations in red states could do abortions because of McGirt. No more, because the OK Gov whinged so much, the SC did a half reverse on that decision. The state can, same as before McGirt, charge non Indians who commit crimes in Indian country. Because of course, treaties between the US and the people who lived here first, can be changed at the stroke of a pen
2022 SCOTUS rulings School vouchers for religious schools, too. Deny women their constitutional right to choose their own healthcare. Miranda. Opoid doctors. Racial gerrymandering Separation of church and state.
Indigenous leaders on Wednesday condemned a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allows authorities in Oklahoma and other states to prosecute certain crimes on sovereign tribal land, a narrowing of a landmark 2020 decision affirming Native treaty rights.
“The right and power of tribes to rule themselves is being dismissed in favor of state power.”
Writing for the majority in the 5-4 Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta decision—in which Neil Gorsuch joined the three liberal justices in dissent—Justice Brett Kavanaugh asserted that “the federal government and the state have concurrent jurisdiction to prosecute crimes committed by non-Indians against Indians in Indian Country.”
The ruling rolls back the court’s 2020 McGirt v. Oklahoma ruling, which affirmed that nearly half of Oklahoma is actually Native American land and that Congress must honor an 1866 treaty between the U.S. government and the Muscogee Nation, one of the numerous tribes forcibly removed from the Southeast via the genocidal Trail of Tears in the 19th century.
The Muscogee Nation tweeted that the ruling “is an alarming step backward for justice on our reservation in cases where non-Native criminals commit crimes against Native people.”
“It hands jurisdictional responsibility in these cases to the state, which during its long, pre-McGirt history of illegal jurisdiction on our reservation, routinely failed to deliver justice for Native victims,” the tribe continued.
This work by Marty is about Women’s rights taken away, but came before yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling. As others have already said, and I’d bet Marty is already working on, Native Americans have had their treaty promised sovereignty violated.
Everything tRump touches dies.
This Supreme Court’s rulings should be a wake-up call to all Americans. If anyone thinks their vote doesn’t count we have undeniable proof every vote counts and every vote matters. tRump was elected using the strategy of winning the electoral college while losing the popular vote. Bush2 was elected the same way, but it was a fluke, not a strategy. tRump’s presidency has given us 3 justices who lied to congress while under oath, and a conservative majority on the court, though conservatives are a minority nationally. We are being governed by that minority.
EVERY VOTE COUNTS.
We can overcome these rulings, we can make this Nation what was promised to all people, and keep those promises. It will take more time now, and be more difficult, but we need to start now, this November, and MUST VOTE. We must get the vote out to take both houses of congress with sizeable majorities to pass fair and honest legislation. And to pursue dishonest justices for impeachment.
conservatism is the enemy of the United States of America and has been since 1774.
tRump is a clear and present danger to the United States of America.
