"The Court could have made clear that the solution respondents seek must come from the Legislative Branch."
In this case, that's exactly what the majority concluded. In layman's terms, this is a decision that says, "We aren't doing a thing. Congress made a promise. If you want to rescind it, go talk to congress, not us."

- bilbo0s 6y agoCongress created the reservation situation in Oklahoma many, many, many years ago. Not the Supreme Court. If respondents want to undo that promise, they need to take the matter up with congress. That's what the court is saying. You can't short circuit the constitutional order. The court is right to drop this right back in the lap of congress.
