The questions presented for review include whether state sovereign immunity can be and
should be applied to unofficial acts and the Constitutional right of Freedom of Speech. This is a
question of law, de novo, because when the Constitution of the United States or laws of the
United States directly contradict a law or statute of the State of Tennessee, a decision must be
made to make clear boundaries of what details of the civil proceedings will agree with the
Constitution of the United States and laws or statutes of the State of Tennessee. Specifically, in
this proceeding the law or statute of the State of Tennessee is sovereign immunity. On the other
hand, the Constitution of the United States has the right to Freedom of Speech and denounces
itself as the Supreme Law of the Land. Also, the Constitutional right to Freedom of Speech
contradicts state sovereign immunity laws as well because you cannot simply enforce both at the
same time unless new laws are created.
