You've got some serious memory problems. I explained all about the history of the 11th amendment to you. How it wasn't a Reagan creation and how it never, ever applied to liberals, Democrats and the new political animal called, a RINO. Your personal political beliefs are based on ignorance and arrogance, and the fact that you never pay attention to anything. You think you know it all. But you don't know nothing.
