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?
