- W368199099 abstract "Although Congress is said to have in Indian Affairs,1 much of federal Indian law is still dictated from the judicial bench through federal common law. While Congress asserted its plenary power in a rather heavy handed manner between the early 1880s and the late 1920s,2 the New Deal era of the 1930s announced a new federal policy towards Indians, one based on respect for tribal self-government instead of assimilation and termination.3 After a brief bout with the termination policy of the 1950s, Congress once again has, since the late 1960s, embarked on a policy of tribal self-determination.5 Thus, except for a brief period in the 1950s, Congress has not used its plenary power to the detriment of Indian tribes in the last seventy years. Until the late 1970s, the Court cooperated with the policies of Congress and even assumed the lead in implementing the pro-tribal policies initiated during the New Deal era and continued in the self-determination era. Accordingly, the Court abided by some presumptions favoring tribal power over state power within Indian country6 and assumed that tribes retained all of their inherent sovereign powers not surrendered in treaties or expressly taken away by congressional statutes.7 Then in the late 1970s, under the increasing influence of soon to be Chief justice Rehnquist, the Court began to change course and started issuing rulings against tribal interests.8 As a result, the consensus among scholars and tribal advocates is that the Rehnquist Court should be viewed as anti-Indian, and tribal lawyers are actively discouraged from petitioning for certiorari from the Supreme Court. In a recent noted article, Professor David Getches noticed that the Rehnquist Court had granted certiorari to an unusual amount of cases concerning Native American issues.9 He also confirmed that, in these cases, the tribal interests were on the losing side nearly eighty percent of the time.10 Hoping to counter such decisions, Indian tribal leaders are gearing up for a major legislative effort in 2003 to have Congress overturn some of the most controversial decisions of the Rehnquist Court that have resulted in a substantial loss of tribal political power within Indian reservations.11 Attempting to determine why the Court is taking so many Indian cases and why the tribes are losing so many of them, Getches concluded that the Court's federal Indian law decisions are influenced by its general agenda disfavoring racial preference, while favoring majoritarian values and states' rights.12 Another noted scholar, Phillip Frickey, has argued that the problem with the current Court is that it has forgotten the foundationalist principles established by John Marshall in the Cherokee cases,13 and is now in the process of flattening federal Indian law into the broader American public law by importing general constitutional and sub-constitutional value into the field.14 Other scholars believe, however, that perhaps the Court's motivation is a concern with the rights of non-Indians living within reservations and being controlled by what the Court views, in spite of some continuing judicial assertions to the contrary,15 as essentially racially based organizations.16 Echoing such sentiment, Sam Deloria recently expressed the view that tribes were losing many cases affecting tribal jurisdiction over non-members because the Court was uncomfortable with the fact that non-Indian residents of the reservations could not vote in tribal elections and would never be eligible for tribal membership.17 Explaining why the Court has not returned to Chief justice Marshall's view, T. Alexander Aleinikoff stated: answer, I believe is grounded on three concerns of the Court. The first, I label the democratic deficit. The second is based on the ethno-racial basis of tribal membership. The third turns on the importance the Court attaches to citizenship in an increasingly multicultural United States.18 This article argues that the reason for the Court's anti-tribal decisions comes from its failure to integrate its general jurisprudence on federalism and associational rights, as well as its preference for formalism,19 into federal Indian law. …" @default.
