The 11th Amendment is one of the fun parts of the Constitution that means something much different than what it says. By its text, it prevents residents from one state from suing another state in federal court - preserving state sovereign immunity in one specific context. The Supreme Court has put on its special glasses and determined that the 11th amendment actually stands for a broad principle that stops private citizens from suing states in federal court generally as well as administrative tribunals that look too much like courts. Oh, and the 11th or rather the ~~broad principle of sovereign immunity for which it stands~~ also stops Congress from authorizing private suits against states under most circumstances in federal or state court.

Sovereign immunity's a hell of a thing.

thats a dumb boring amendment. we'll never get millennials into the constitution with poo poo like that on there
