Questions presented
This case concerns yet another agency overreach involving-the Federally Recognized Indian Tribe List Act (“List Act”), and whether the statute has judiciary branch tribal recognition or whether it can be removed from the “List Act” using a fictitious administrative action and invalidated case law. The questions presented are:
-
Whether the Rule 60 motion should have been granted because the previous District Court and Court of Appeals decisions were void because the lower Court’s lacked jurisdiction.
-
Whether the Rule 60 motion should have been granted because the agency acted in a legally forbidden manner and deceived the District Court and Court of Appeals regarding its administrative procedures for judiciary branch tribal recognition.
