How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • explaining that the plaintiff “would encounter a problem [under sovereign immunity] had he asked the court to direct the Commission to reverse the stewards’ decision and pay him $6,250 . . . but a request for review differs from a request for damages.” (emphasis in original)
  • “It is both unnecessary and inappropriate to decide whether the Constitution would prevent litigation that Congress has not authorized in the first place.”
