Supreme Court of the United States
Federal Maritime Commission v. South Carolina State Ports Authority — Breyer, J., Dissenting
May 28, 2002535 U.S. 743
Summary
Justice Breyer dissents, arguing the Court's sovereign immunity ruling lacks textual, historical, or purposive support, and that federal agency adjudication against states does not offend state dignity or the Eleventh Amendment. Justice Stevens, dissenting, adds that Alden is true neither to history nor to the structure of the Constitution.
