• Standing is a jurisdictional prerequisite which appellate court has independent obligation to review.
• “[A]sking a federal court to enjoin post-judgment collection procedures that allegedly violate a party’s federal rights is distinguishable from asking a federal court to review the merits of the underlying judgment.”
• analyzing the remaining preliminary injunction factors by assuming a, First Amendment violation
• reversing district court’s analysis on irreparable- harm factor and “remand[ing] for further consideration of the Tribe’s request” because district court “did not address the other three conditions required for issuance of a preliminary injunction”
