Supreme Court’s ruling in Baby Veronica case leads to more legal wrangling over adoption

The Washington Post's Robert Barnes reports on the latest legal disputes in the custody dispute over Baby Veronica between her adoptive white parents and her biological American Indian father: "Since a deeply divided Supreme Court ruled in Veronica’s case in June, here’s who else has had a say: two South Carolina courts, three Oklahoma courts, the Supreme Court of the Cherokee Nation, a battalion of lawyers, two governors and someone from the United Nations." One of the legal issues is South Carolina's call to extradite the biological father to face contempt charges for not following court orders in favor of the adoptive parents.
