The team could have challenged the ruling in appellate court in Washington, but sought help instead in a venue that gives it more options, by going to a trial court to sue the Native Americans who complained in the first place....

To a certain extent, the politicization of judicial appointments has tracked political divisions nationally—and confirmation controversies are hardly unprecedented over the long sweep of American history. But the reasons for those controversies have shifted in the last few decades. While inter- and intra-party politics have always played a role, couching opposition in terms of judicial philosophy is a relatively new phenomenon.
