Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether sovereign immunity is constitutional when it directly contradicts federal theft laws and the Constitution of the United States

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

include whether sovereign immunity is constitutional. This is a question of law, de novo, because when sovereign immunity directly contradicts the Constitution of the United States or laws of the United States, a decision must be made to make clear boundaries of what details of the civil proceedings will agree with the Constitution of the United States and laws or statutes of the United States. Specifically, in this proceeding the law or statute of the United States is sovereign immunity. On the other hand, the Constitution of the United States has federal theft laws and denounces itself as the Supreme Law of the Land. Also, federal theft laws contradict sovereign immunity laws as well because you cannot simply enforce both at the same time unless new laws are created.
