This paragraph is brutal:

The evidence presented to the Court at trial was “both overwhelming and extremely underwhelming.” (Tr. Court, 1426:20). Witness testimony was poignant at times, on one occasion moving some in the courtroom audience to tears. Ultimately, however, the Tribe failed to shoulder its burden of proof; and despite the Court’s serious misgivings about the treatment of the Tribe, the Tribe did not show that the United States’ failure to repair the crumbling Building violated trust obligations or constituted to a taking. Even if the Tribe met the elements of a breach of trust or takings claim, its proof of damages was entirely unconvincing, dependent on construction costs in the city limits of Chicago and rental values derived from cursory internet searches. Accordingly, the United States is entitled to judgment.
