Why should Congress let the Courts decide?? In addition to Cherokee Nation District Court, these issues are being litigated in U.S. District and Appellate Courts in Washington, D.C. Beyond the tribal court reinstatement, the Nation is committed to keeping the Freedmen descendants as citizens until all litigation has been resolved %u2013 and beyond if they prevail in court. Congress should allow the Federal and Tribal Courts to do their work without interference.
