United States Supreme Court
Cent. Virginia Cmty. Coll. v. Katz, 04-885
A bankruptcy trustee's proceeding to set aside the debtor's preferential transfers to state agencies is not barred by sovereign immunity. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Clause, Congress may, at its option, either treat states in the same way as other creditors insofar as concerns "Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies" or exempt them from operation of such laws.
