Interesting.
Scalia's suspicion of legislative intent seems relevant here. And consider what happened when the Supreme Court interpreted the Privileges and Immunities Clause. The language in these things can take a life of its own.

On sovereignty, I agree, it's turning things on their head, or some part of the body, perhaps the elbow. But that doesn't mean it can't be done.

I didn't mean to say that it couldn't be done, only that it didn't strike me as a plausible explanation for your interpretation of the second sentence. Obviously, Allard undercuts me some, although he's not parsing the language.
