Good morning and welcome to our live blog.
There are two arguments today, both in personal jurisdiction cases, and we are also waiting for opinions at 10.
Five minute buzzer just sounded.
There are three cases left from the November sitting, and two from the December sitting.
Hello, all! Welcome to our live blog. Sorry for the delay in joining you.
Amy is getting in line for opinions now.
Thomas and Ginsburg filed opinions concurring in judgment
In a suit brought against a tribal employee in his individual capacity, the employee rather than the tribe is the real party in interest and the tribe's sovereign immunity is not implicated.
That an employee was acting within the scope of his employment when the tort was committed is not on its own sufficient to bar a suit against that employee based on tribal sovereign immunity.
And an indemnification provision does not extend a tribe's sovereign immunity where it would not otherwise reach.
The decision of the Supreme Court of Connecticut is reversed and remanded.
Thanks everyone for joining us this morning!
