How have the courts treated the issue of sovereign immunity in a civil case?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Yakima Tribal Court of Yakima Indian Nation, 794 F.2d 1402 (9th Cir. 1986):
Appellants criticize the court's citation to Mississippi, asserting that the case is inapposite because it involved the Eleventh Amendment. Mississippi is relevant for its holding that the United States could sue a state defendant and "override" the sovereign immunity of the states. See United States v. Mississippi, 380 U.S. 128, 140-41, 85 S.Ct. 808, 814-15, 13 L.Ed.2d 717 (1965).
