Sure, that's what an 11th A challenge raises, the question of whether Congress has the power to abrogate state sovereign immunity.

Alas, I am; I wrote a little thing on this for Martha at the time that GArrett was in the works thats hould be in the archives. An opinion i worked very hard on for Judge Cummings was reversed by Kimel, so I feel personally bitter about this. Or you can look up the reversed opinion: Wichmann v. Southern Illinois University, I was right and the Court was wrong. Unfortunately they're the Court,. and my opinion draft (as modified) was only issued by the 7C (per curiam).
