Finally! This is the right call, a Sovereign Nation must have the ability to address potential threats w/o impediment based on status, especially when public access (ie highways) is imposed . #MMIWG

I’m Oceti Sakowin (Oglala Lakota), and I can tell you the one thing I appreciate about Gorsuch is his rulings when it comes to tribes. He seems to be one of the few conservatives that care about sovereignty. I believe a former clerk of his was AI/AN, too. Thanks for sharing this!

It seemed to me that this ruling should get far more media attention - of all the SCOTUS justices that Trump Appointed - I agree that Gorsuch has been a pleasant surprise. His opinion in the DADT case was one that genuinely took me by surprise, in a good way. Of the various hearings I’ve listened to the oral arguments - he really does ask incredibly thoughtful questions. To be clear I disagree with him on a lot of “public policy” issues but I appreciate the solemnity of his briefs
