Suiting the Atturna Genral of Texas

You're not supposed to just su the state. But you can sue the officials in their official capacity. This is a very, kind of weird technicality, and this is the way it's worked for more than a undred years. It works so well that nobody ever really has cause question it. So hat it lets these suits come into federal court, but without upsetting the basic premises of how courts and consitution law works.
