• explaining that “the Supreme Court’s use of ‘may’ instead of ‘shall’ or ‘must’ shows that Red Cross does not compel federal jurisdiction”
• explaining that “at most, the words [‘of competent jurisdiction’] require both'personal and subject matter jurisdiction,” but refer to federal subject matter at the very least
• “the Supreme Court never entertained the possibility of entirely detaching subject matter jurisdiction from the phrase’s meaning”
• “It cannot be said that Congress’s intent with respect to its use of the phrase remained the same in light of the intervening Supreme Court decision.”
• “if Congress had wanted to confer federal jurisdiction on [Fannie Mae], it would have simply used the same sue-and-be-sued provision for a third time. But it did not.”
