On sovereign immunity, other than the limited sovereign immunity that is set out in the 11th amendment, where do you view sovereignty, and any powers relating to it, as arising? Sovereign immunity is not mentioned in the constitution itself. And what powers might be included in this concept of "Sovereignty".
You complained yesterday about the vagueness of the 9th amendment rights reserved to the people. Does the vagueness of some extra-constitutional powers (labeled "Sovereign powers") being reserved to the government bother you? I'm not sure where you came down on the right to privacy, but I find it much easier to understand a concept of a right to privacy from a quick skim through the Federalist Papers than I do the concept of "sovereign powers" beyond those enumerated in the constitution.

Did I read the paper correctly this morning? Did Roberts really find a right to privacy in the Constitution, or did he merely say he would not undo precedent finding that right?
The fucking media sucks; they totally misinterpret and misreport everything said.
