A non-profit organization files a lawsuit against State X for allegedly violating the federal Clean Air Act. State X claims it is immune from such lawsuits under the Eleventh Amendment. However, Congress has passed a statute waiving Eleventh Amendment immunity for certain environmental claims. Is the organization's lawsuit against State X permissible under federal law?
Yes, provided the lawsuit is filed in federal court.
No, the Eleventh Amendment applies specifically to criminal cases.
No, because State X retains sovereign immunity in the context of federal statutes.
Yes, because Congress has waived Eleventh Amendment immunity for these claims.
The lawsuit is permissible because Congress has specifically waived the Eleventh Amendment immunity for the types of claims covered by the statute, thereby authorizing the action that would otherwise be invalid.
