@georgetakei Sauer was actually in a difficult position: he is supposed to represent his client, but his client has a really weak argument, so Sauer was trying to tiptoe around the obvious. Meanwhile his boss was in the room. The technical issue was whether being in a tribe meant you were not subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S, but that argument became moot in 1924 due to an act of congress, so I guess we could treat tribes as U.S. states and give each one two senators, etc. Oops 😃.
