my translation

I take it to mean "Why are we having a hearing about whether the Cherokee Nation belongs in this case when we don't need them?"

While I disagree with the court if they mean that the BIA can enforce their "right" to disapprove the new Constitution, I do agree that the BIA could accomplish the same result by closing the money spigot and/or ceasing to recognize the government in Tahlequah as legitimate for federal purposes.
