JUDICIAL USURPATION.

here can be no reasonable doubt but
that the judicial usurpations of the past
decade have justified whatever extreme
measures the Individual States have re-
sorted to in order to preserve their
identity and their necessary power.
| Away back i'll 1893 the first attempt to
consolidate the nation through judicial
process was had Its origin was suit
brought by a citizen of another State
against the State of Georgia Georgia
ignored the suit and the sutton. Her
contention then was that Art 3 Of the
Federal Constitution permitted her TO
be plaintiff III a suit against a citizen of
another State. but not defendant A
Judgment by default was rendered, but
never enforced.
The matter attracted at the time the
attention of the whole country, and out
Of the suit AMI its resulting judgment
given, the Eleventh Amendment to our
Constitution, which, as an eminent iurist
Of the day and time remarked, is a re-
bike to the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States for daring to change the Con-
stitution under pretense Of constituting
it; for daring to hold that the Constitl1-
ton was not to be strictly construed
even in the case of remeiia powers
which it delegates
The Eleventh Amendment reads as
follows: The judicial power of the
United States shall not be construed to
extend to any suit in law or equity,
commenced or prosecuted against one
of the United States, by citizens of an
other State, or by citizens or subjects
of any foreign State
This certainly is clear enough to any
one, but the injunction process has come
in play, AMI the Fourteenth Amendment,
one which deals interestingly with the
liberty of persons as entities is held to
cover the right to protect foreign cor
porations against State processes and
State laws, Federal courts holding that
