Questions presented

Should the clear and unambiguous words of the 11th Amendment to the United States Constitution be the basis for judicial determinations relating to that Amendment?
Should the reasoning relating to the meaning of the 11th Amendment that is set forth in Hans v. Louisiana: 10 S.Ct. 504 (1890) and its progeny be explicitly rejected by the current United States Supreme Court?
As a result, should the decisions of the United States Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit in Nordberg -v- Massachusetts Teachers' Retirement System (Case No. 21-1006; United States Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit), dismissing this lawsuit as barred by the 11th Amendment be vacated?
