Oliphant and the Freedmen

An excellent post from John Cornsilk's site pointing out something that had frankly never occurred to me: the intersection of the Freedmen Controversy and the Supreme Court's decision in Oliphant that essentially granted the right of extraterritoriality to white pedophiles and rapists who prey on Indian women and children in Indian Country.

On a related note: Chief Chad Smith's editorial at HuffPo and John's dissection of it.
