Oklahoma v Castro-Huerta is a ruling in favor of the state

Agreed.  I just don't see where Gorsuch finds a 5th vote for expansive pro-tribe interpretations of Indian law anymore.  Maybe Thomas depending on the technicalities of the individual cases, but that's unlikely.

Barrett, if Ysleta is any indication.

Oh, wow, didn't know about that one.  If she is generally on board with Gorsuch for expansive tribal rights, that is a game-changer!

Roberts and/or Kavanaugh was in the majority of Sharp v Murphy, which was 6-2 or 5-3. Might Castro-Huerta get at least one of them as a fifth vote.

I think all that meant was they were honoring the precedent from the other case, McGirt?  It is not at all  surprising that Roberts and Kavanaugh would vote to recognize a precedent they originally dissented from.
