"It is highly implausible that the Founders understood the Indian Commerce Clause, which was virtually unopposed at the founding, as giving Congress the power to destroy the States’ territorial integrity," Thomas wrote in dissent. "When our precedents permit such an absurd result, something has gone seriously awry. It is time to fix our error. We should have granted certiorari to reexamine our Indian Commerce Clause precedents, instead of standing idly by as Congress, the Executive, and the lower courts stray further and further from the Constitution."Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas criticized the justices' decision on Monday not to take a case, saying they are "giving Congress the power to destroy the states' territorial integrity."
