US Supreme Court issues decision in Hawaii v. Office of Hawaiian Affairs
You can find the entire Alito-written decision HERE in .pdf format.
Briefly, the Court says that claims of Native Hawaiians that the State of Hawaii could not sell or otherwise alienate lands in the state, based on the wrongfulness of the American takeover/annexation/theft of the islands from the rightful monarchy, are not grounded in the law, Congress's Apology Act notwithstanding. The Hawaiian Supreme Court decision is thus reversed and remanded.
