Ever since the American Political Science Association annual convention main hotel in 2014 was evacuated at 2AM because of a fire, now when I buy new pajamas, I think about whether it would be appropriate to greet the public in the outfit.

Helpful review of past fed Indian law cases. "The Supreme Court, becoming known as a tribunal willing to overturn some of its major decisions, could only muster two votes on Monday to reconsider one of the most fiercely condemned rulings on the law governing America’s Indian tribes."

One of the most reviled decisions by SCt on Indian law, the 1886 decision in US v. Kagama, withstands a challenge today. Only 2 JJ voted to hear it. SCt also refused to reconsider same-sex marriage precedent. Details at:
