: inversecondemnationHonolulu Paper on Ceded Lands Case: "Hawaii Supreme Court ruling tampers with federalism"
By Robert Thomas (inversecondemnation.com)
Today's editorial in the Honolulu Star Bulletin's is about the "ceded lands" case:
Hawaii's Supreme Court ruled in January that a 1993 joint resolution by Congress apologizing for the overthrow of the monarchy a century earlier requires that ceded lands be "preserved" until "a proper foundation for reconciliation between the United States and the native Hawaiian people" is achieved.
The Apology Resolution does not exactly say that, but that was the state high court's interpretation.
Read the complete editorial here. More on the case, including links to all briefs in the case (so far) here.
