The Supreme Court handed a victory for tribal court sovereignty in a case involving domestic abuse sentencing. We’ll examine the details behind the unanimous ruling in US v Bryant and what it means for the future of tribal courts. In the wake of the mass shooting of 49 people in Orlando Florida, some people are questioning the headlines “Worst Mass Shooting in US History.” We’ll discuss the criticisms and appropriateness of such arguments. And as always, until November, we keep an eye on the elections.
