Nothing is obvious anymore!
There is a doctrine of interstate sovereign immunity. When New Jersey Transit, a state agency, operates buses in Pennsylvania and New York
that get into accidents, does it retain sovereign immunity or must it be treated as a business for the purpose of a P.I. lawsuit?
Is it self identifying to cheat justice?

This amused me.

Definitions are foundational to understanding pretty much everything.

That's why I - sort of - sympathize with Ketanji-Jackson in her

I don't expect the definition of a transit agency to be QUITE as >controversial though ;-)

Imagine how they would have felt about the concept that nothing exists beyond >the limit of the expanding universe, not even space itself.
