Mildly Interesting SCOTUS Development: Bearcomesout Cert Petition
Here is the petition in Bearscomesout v. United States:
Question presented:
Whether the “separate sovereign” concept actually exists any longer where Congress’s plenary power over Indian tribes and the general erosion of any real tribal sovereignty is amplified by the Northern Cheyenne Tribe’s Constitution in this case such that Petitioner’s prosecutions in both tribal and federal court violate the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
The Ninth Circuit’s unpublished opinion is here. We posted briefs in this case because the federal appellate defender characterized this case as a direct challenge to the applicability of the dual sovereign exception to double jeopardy as applied to Indian tribes.
SCOTUSBlog notes this case has been relisted, perhaps because a justice wants to write a dissent from denial of certiorari (Justice Thomas anyone?), but who knows?
Brown University Discussion on Indian Sacred Sites

“Sacred Sites, Federal Indian Law, and the Future”
3:00 pm to 6:30 pm
IBES Room 130, 85 Waterman Street
The political and social dynamics of American Indian sacred sites and basic human rights protections within the contemporary U.S. are constantly evolving. This panel, including various legal scholars, community leaders, and activists, will explore issues of human rights, self-determination, sovereignty, and potential International legal remedies in order to better understand the contemporary realities of misunderstanding, lack of social justice, U.S. constructed hierarchies of economic and political inequality, and overall legacies of colonialism.
