Here are the cert stage materials in Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians v. North Dakota Legislative Assembly:
Republican Governors Amicus Brief in Opposition
Questions presented:
1. Should this Court vacate the Eighth Circuit’s decision under United States v. Munsingwear, Inc., 340 U.S. 36 (1950)? 2. Are state legislators absolutely immune from civil discovery, including from producing documents and communications that involved or were shared with third parties, or is the state legislative privilege a qualified one, based on principles of comity, that yields where important federal interests are at stake?
