TULSA, Oklahoma -
Oklahoma’s newly-appointed Attorney General John O’Connor said he wants to overturn the Supreme Court’s ruling on tribal jurisdiction, but is willing to work with the tribes.
O Connor said he ll fight for Oklahomans and work to make the Attorney General s office better, but his tough stance on the ruling caught the attention of tribes. They hope O Connor will work with - and not against - them.
“If the question is, ‘Will we oppose McGirt?’ The answer is yes. If the question is, ‘Will we seek the overturning by the Supreme Court of McGirt?’ The answer is yes. Will we try to work with the tribes? Absolutely, O’Connor said.
