For issuing, not for 'not revoking.' I'm sure to get around the

they have some sort of escape clause otherwise the states would have been

IOW, you were indeed spouting nonsense having no basis whatsoever.

For future reference, the general rule is that governmental agencies
cannot
be sued without the government's consent. A very ancient principle known
as
"sovereign immunity."
