Judge Booted From Indian Trust Case

With the news that an appeals court has ordered that federal judge Royce Lamberth be removed from the long-running Indian trust fund case, we might actually see a resolution of the dispute sometime soon. It had become clear that a major impediment to progress in the case was Lamberth himself, and his vituperative criticism of the Interior Department--which he once called "the morally and culturally oblivious hand-me-down of a disgracefully racist and imperialist government that should have been buried a century ago."

 

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
