In a carefully researched and reasoned opinion, the Ninth Circuit concluded, as we do today, that “history gives little indication that sovereign immunity was ever intended to protect plaintiff states.

The Tenth Circuit reached the same conclusion in a state tort action removed to federal court, though it confined its discussion to the Eleventh Amendment, not broader principles of sovereign immunity. See Oklahoma ex rel. Edmondson v. Magnolia Marine Transp. Co., 359 F.3d 1237, 1239-40 (10th Cir.2004) (<HOLDING>). The Fifth Circuit and the Federal Circuit
