Right to sue multiple states...

ARTICLE III. 
 
Section 2.  The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, 
arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties 
made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;
[deleted text]
between Citizens of different States;
[deleted text]

Clearly my suing say the govenor and legislature of each of the 50 states
qualifies as a case involving citizens of different states and therefore
there is clearly a right to sue multiple states at the federal level and
falls under the responsibility of the Supreme Court.

Good point execpt are we talking of suing a States' governemnt for damages
or are we talking of suing individules, who happen to be part of a State's
government, for damages? I think that it is universal that one is
precluded from suing a memeber of government for carying out the duties of
office (ie: you can't sue the Governor of Texas for passing a law you
don't like while you can sue the govenor if hits your car going down the
road).
