There is a move that I expect the admin to make, and it’s worth anticipating.
The move: Find an exception. Some statute, some prosecution, some suit somewhere that can’t be squared with the sweeping language that the Framers used. Then deny the rule. 1/2

If you read the passages he's cherry-picking from, it's very clear that the Tribal-citizen exception is about respect for Tribal sovereignty. That's why US civ/crim law wasn't imposed on Tribal citizens without treaty-based consent. They weren't subject to jx b/c US laws weren't imposed on them.
