Your 11th Amendment almost at work

I have yet to hear a satisfactory response to the first question, despite pounding on it for three years in law school and a sufficient number of posts here to drive Sidd to the bars by early afternoon. So Ihave come the conclusion that the answer is, in fact, a majority of congress want to do some stuff, and maybe it's stupid or maybe it's not, but nothing prevents them from doing it.
Perhaps part of the answer to your wuestion can be found in the fact that when a federal judge applied the 11th Amendment a few weeks back, Senator Cornyn and Rep. Delay suggested that perhaps their lives should be in danger for not bending to the will of the Congress.
