        It was Larry who cited the eleventh amendment, but he's a public
        servant getting used to others taking credit for his work, so yer
        welcome, troublemaker.

        As for suing, your starting place is a lawyer, seriously, but as for
        location you'll find that you can sue with equal facility in all
        fifty US States.... except maybe its easier in Colorado where 
        they have one less lawyer clogging the courts than in other
        places.... yet remember that your likelyhood of winning is 
        somewhat improved relative to the likelyhood of getting 
        yourself into a lot of trouble, in jurisdictions where you 
        actually have a viable case. So keep that in mind when 
        you talk to that lawyer. Good luck!
