- dragonwriter 5y ago> It’s the other way around - you can’t sue a state in another state’s court Sovereign immunity means you can’t sue a state in its own courts, either, except in the ways it has agreed to be suable, which tend to be a small subset of those reasons for which any other party would be.
- kingcharles 5y agoI think you're referring to sovereign immunity. That doesn't apply to FOIA cases as the law gives a statutory right to sue.
