United States, Petitioner v. Michael Bryant, Jr. — Thomas, J., Concurring

Summary

Justice Thomas concurs in the judgment that the Sixth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause do not prohibit the government from using Michael Bryant’s uncounseled tribal‑court convictions as predicates for a federal domestic‑assault charge, but he critiques the underlying assumptions about tribal sovereignty and Congress’s plenary power over Indian affairs.
