Republic of Sudan, Petitioner v. Rick Harrison — Thomas, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Thomas dissents, arguing that service of process on a foreign state may be properly effected by mailing a packet to the foreign minister’s address at the state’s embassy in Washington, D.C., and that the majority’s bright‑line rule requiring service at the minister’s office in the foreign state is unsupported by the statutory text. He would affirm the Second Circuit’s judgment that service was proper.
