• finding that “jurisdiction over an otherwise justiciable RICO claim does not fail merely due to the suggestion that an issue of tribal law may arise”
• describing these as “two analytically distinct but related bases that may defeat jurisdiction in cases involving tribes”
• stating an appellant may raise a new argument in a supplemental brief when an intervening Supreme Court opinion overrules existing precedent
• “[A] party who itself has not signed an arbitration clause, may be compelled to arbitrate if a signatory executed the arbitration agreement as its agent.”
• “Our [C]ourt applies this waiver rule strictly, and we are not at liberty to recognize an excep- tion for issues district judges rely upon in summary fashion or state as alternative explanations for their underlying judgments.”
• “Our longstanding case law rule is than an appellant who does not raise an issue in his opening brief may not do so in his reply brief, in a supplemental brief, in a rehearing petition, or on remand from the Supreme Court.”
