Can't I sue the state for wasting my tax dollars on this? We already have some of the most corrupt local governments in the union. ( Google "Bell California Scandal") They're already mismanaging every single aspect of our government, then wasting millions that could've been used in schools, to improve our highways, to build that new bullet train from SF to LA, but no.
They sue videogames instead because it's "a good idea' and then I have to foot the bill for it? Days like this make me really annoyed to be an American.

If you really want to be technical about it, yeah. But the later rulings you're talking about (Hans v. Louisiana?) essentially established that the framework of the Constitution (with regards to the Eleventh Amendment) implied that states were protected in suits from their own citizens, because it would be preposterous for this assumption not to be made. And the whole reason the amendment wasn't specifically stated to include protection from a state's own citizens is because it was unfathomable that a citizen would have sued their own state in the founding fathers' days.
Of course, you're probably a lawyer or law student, whereas I just have a penchant for browsing Findlaw and the law articles on Wikipedia, so forgive me if I'm completely misinterpreting.
