With the Supreme Court taking this case, Bay Mills will argue that what Michigan and Judge Maloney did violated its sovereign immunity. You would think any tribe placing its sovereign immunity — and that of all tribes — in the tender hands of this conservative Supreme Court should have its head examined. In fact, Bay Mills Tribal Chairman Kurt Perron said the tribe is “deeply concerned” the court could examine the doctrine of tribal sovereign immunity. If Bay Mills wants to kick that door open, it does so at great risk.
