Turtle Talk 
judge teilborg wrote an idiotic opinion, which is wrong. The l968 contract plainly sets out the tribe has work preference for members in employment. The court misapplied the Montana test and will be reversed, or should be.

Idiotic goes way too far. Seems to me the employees have a contract breach cause of action against the Project, and it’ll be litigated in tribal court. The federal court did say the tribal assertion of jurisdiction met the Montana 2 test.
Maybe it would have been nice for the court to apply the canon of construction favoring tribes here, especially if the bargaining power and historical context of the 1969 lease came into play.
As is, though, those plaintiff lawyers might still get their payday.
