The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against the Navajo Nation on a water issue. The Navajos had sued to force the federal government to provide them with more water. Climate change and agricultural uses have diminished water supplies. The four who ruled in favor of the Navajos included the usual liberal three and Neil Gorsuch.
Gorsuch is one of the most conservative members of the Court, but in every case that involves Indian rights or treaties, he votes in the side of the Indians. I don’t know why, but I do wish at least one of the other members would join him.
