The Supreme Court's first opinion of the day is in Lac du Flambeau. Justice Jackson's 8–1 opinion holds that the Bankruptcy Code abrogates tribe's sovereign immunity. Only Gorsuch dissents.

A longer dissent than majority opinion, with lots of twists and turns and hypertechnical readings and citations to law review articles and court dissents to make his point. I agree @BharatiyaNagarik@lemmy.world, Gorsuch continues is pro-tribal jurisprudence. Maybe it's consistent with his ultra-textualist and libertarian world view, or maybe it's because of his Colorado upbringing, or maybe it's something else.
Interesting discussion in the majority opinion about "all-inclusive" examplar pairs to show a broad statutory scope -- with examples "rain or shine," "near and far," "foreign and domestic."
