Good grief. What an ignorant statement. Read the case. Did you? If you did, read it again, because that is NOT what the opinion concludes.
Good grief. Look at the vote. Nobody on “our side” should be voting with America hating leftists like The Wise Latina (TM), Kagan and Darth Bader Ginsburg. Ever. Period.
How could I? I was the first in the country to report on it.

Roberts:. “McGirt was sentenced to 1,000 years
plus life in prison. Today, the
Court holds that Oklahoma lacked jurisdiction to prosecute
McGirt—on the improbable ground that, unbeknownst to
anyone for the past century, a huge swathe of Oklahoma is
actually a Creek Indian reservation, on which the State
may not prosecute serious crimes committed by Indians like
McGirt. Not only does the Court discover a Creek reserva-
tion that spans three million acres and includes most of the
city of Tulsa, but the Court’s reasoning portends that there
are four more such reservations in Oklahoma. The redis-
covered reservations encompass the entire eastern half of
the State—19 million acres that are home to 1.8 million peo-
ple, only 10%–15% of whom are Indians.
Across this vast area, the State’s ability to prosecute se-
rious crimes will be hobbled and decades of past convictions
could well be thrown out. On top of that, the Court has pro-
foundly destabilized the governance of eastern Oklahoma.
The decision today creates significant uncertainty for the
State’s continuing authority over any area that touches In-
dian affairs, ranging from zoning and taxation “
