With the nation hobbled by the coronavirus crisis, the U.S. Supreme Court continues work on McGirt v. Oklahoma, the only Indian law case set for argument during the current term.
In an order issued on Monday morning, the justices granted time for both the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and the U.S. Department of Justice to argue at the upcoming hearing, alongside counsel for Jimcy McGirt, the Indian inmate whose rights are at issue in the closely-watched case. The argument is still scheduled to take place on April 21, amid coronavirus social distancing guidelines, travel advisories and other restrictions in place at least through the end of that month.
