Prof. Ablavsky states, "The Court has become a much more dangerous source of doctrine for Native people in the present." He forecasts that Thomas's view will be utilized to expand #Stateauthority into Native Country.

Prof. Ablavsky of @stanfordlaw expands on Prof. Torres' point, stating that defining #plenarypowers means that the #federalgovernment has the power to legislate for Native people directly.

Prof. Torres states #HaalandvBrackeen is a case about #federalpower and quotes Justice Amy Coney Barrett's opinion, "It is plenary within its sphere, but even a sizeable sphere has borders."

Prof. Briggs kicks off Panel 2 by teaching that whenever we review a #lawreviewarticle stating that #ICWA was passed because children were being taken, "just know that decades of history is being glossed over."

Chairwoman Cheryl Andrews-Maltais of Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah rounds out Panel 1 of #InterrogatingHaalandvBrackeen by stating that, "the theft of our children is the most egregious and harmful genocide that can possibly be imagined."

Attorney Ian Gershengorn discusses his main points he brought to #SCOTUS to preserve #ICWA in #HaalandvBrackeen to show that this action was, "political, political, political".

Did you know, according to Professor Kathryn Fort, #HaalandvBrackeen was made difficult because it is one of the first cases shifting #ICWAlitigation from state court to federal courts, and #federalcourts don't usually deal with child welfare issues?

@Bethanyrberger, Professor Kathryn Fort, Attorney Ian Gershengorn, and Chairwoman Cheryl Andrews-Maltais are about to kick off Panel 1's discussion of #HaalandvBrackeen to chat about the history of #ICWA and #Brackeen's procedural history and posture.

Prof. Berger shows how the case had a tumultuous history with #ICWA originally being deemed #unconstitutional in the district courts.
