摘要：The Supreme Court has now squarely addressed the effect of its monumental
state sovereign immunity decisions of Seminole Tribe of Florida v. Florida1 and
Alden v. Maine2 in the context of federal bankruptcy proceedings. Seminole Tribe
held that Congress's Article I legislative powers could not be used to abrogate states'
constitutional sovereign immunity from suit in federal court, creating considerable
uncertainty regarding the extent to which states and state agencies could be bound
by federal bankruptcy proceedings.3
