From the Molokai Dispatch (via How Appealing):
The United States Supreme Court in Washington, DC may be far away, but it will soon tackle an issue close to home for Molokai residents – ceded lands. The highest court in the land will address whether the State of Hawaii has the jurisdiction to sell lands that remain in dispute.
And the timing could not be more interesting. 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of Hawaii statehood. All this less than a month after Hawaii saw its first son elected president. This year is shaping up to be one for records, when it comes to Hawaii in the national conversation.
