1. Supreme Court sides with Native American tribes in dispute with Texas about gambling on reservations

Opinion #3 of the day (and still more to come): The Supreme Court sides with Native American tribes in a dispute with Texas about what types of gambling on reservations the state can control.

Here's the opinion from Neil Gorsuch in Ysleta del Sur Pueblo v. Texas: https://supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/20-493_jgko.pdf. The ruling is 5-4, with Gorsuch, Barrett and the three liberals in the majority. Roberts, Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh dissent.
