The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
This all kind of flows together with the 10th Amendment, the level and power of state governments is very important to holding things together, and challenges to state laws should be scrutinized.
Along with my prop 8 rant, I think this amendment has been overrun as well. I mean, if you are suing the governor of a state, how is that different than suing the state. The case that overturned prop 8 was Perry v. Schwarzenegger, but Schwarzenegger didn't even want to defend himself in the suit and praised Walker's decision against him.
The person they were really suing were the people of California, if you have a problem with the people of California move to Nevada.
