Federal government can still prosecute, so I don't have a problem with this.

I wish the prosecution hadn’t been arguing for a convicted sex offender, but it seems like it was the right decision. Makes my opinion of Neil Gorsuch go up.

In Sharp v. Murphy, the prosecution argued for a convicted murderer. Kavanaugh and Roberts joined the liberals in a 6-2 ruling.

Why do you say that as if it's some mind-blowing circumstance & not just a consequence of the fact that, though they didn't agree with the decision in McGirt, they know better than to enable the potential occurrence of a literal same-day Supreme Court jurisprudential split?

“The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.”
- H. L. Mencken

Granted, I wouldn’t quite call it an issue of freedom in this case, but it still stands.

Thomas and Alito beat a dead horse and dissented despite already losing. Shouldn’t the decision have been unanimous?
