Voting rights advocacy groups called the Supreme Court's decision "deeply disappointing."

“Promises were made,” Justice Gorsuch said in upholding Creek Nation jurisdiction over half of Oklahoma.

“No employer is welcome into the exam room when I talk to patients about their contraception options, why should they be able to dictate the method from their corner office?” asked one physician.

"No oil pipeline is safe, and TransCanada’s record over the past decade does little to assuage concerns of a spill."

“I would imagine the oil companies will seek en banc [full court] review in the Ninth Circuit. If that fails they'll petition … the Supreme Court.”
