The image is a two-panel sketch explaining the 11th Amendment’s prohibition on federal courts hearing cases where citizens sue states without consent. Left panel shows a plaintiff asking a federal judge to “hear them,” while red annotations clarify the court’s lack of jurisdiction; right panel depicts states arguing over immunity, with labels like “he’s bald” and “that’s an arm” humorously highlighting interpretive ambiguities. The drawing uses minimal lines, speech bubbles, and arrows to convey legal nuance in accessible terms.
