Ya think?

The 11th Amendment overturned Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 Dall. 419, (1793).

I think the 11th amendment does nothing to counter the words of Chief Justice Jay:

"By this great compact however, many prerogatives were transferred to the national Government, such as those of making war and peace, contracting alliances, coining money, etc."

Jay was a federalist. One thing is certain; enough Americans adopted Jay's view so that the Union of these state has remained inviolate. In fact, President Lincoln's call for volunteers in 1861 was filled to overflowing and later he could say: "Our resources are unexhausted, and are as we think, inexhaustible."

And you're not a justice on the US Supreme Court. The states overruled Chisholm, the Federal congress, and the states SPANKED the moronic decision by Jay et al.
