Controversies between one State and another, or its citizens, which are not justiciable or capable of judicial solution find examples in the suits brought before the Supreme Court. One case of which the Supreme Court refused to take jurisdiction was Wisconsin vs. the Pelican Insurance Company (1 U. S.), in which the State of Wisconsin sought to enforce against a Louisiana insurance company a judgment rendered in a Wisconsin court for penalties imposed by a Wisconsin statute upon foreign insurance companies for failure to comply with statutory regulations of its business. It was held that neither under international comity nor law was one nation required to enforce extra-territorially the criminal law of another nation, and that therefore the controversy presented was not one of which as between the States of the Union the Supreme Court could take cognizance. Again, in Louisiana vs. Texas, 176 U. S., 1, Louisiana sought to restrain the Governor of Texas from so enforcing a quarantine law as to injure the business of the people of Louisiana. The law itself on its face was a proper one for the protection of Texas. In dismissing the suit the Court said: “But in order that a controversy between States, justiciable in this Court, can be held to exist, something more must be put forward than that the citizens of one State are injured by the maladministration of the laws of another. The State cannot make war, nor enter into treaties, though they may, with the consent of Congress, make compacts and agreements. When there is no agreement, whose breach might create it, a controversy between States does not arise unless the action complained of is State action, and acts of State officers in abuse or excess of their powers cannot be laid hold of as in themselves committing one State to a distinct collision with a sister State. “In our judgment, this bill does not set up facts which show that the State of Texas has so authorized or confirmed the alleged action of her health officer as to make it her own, or from which it necessarily follows that the two States are in controversy within the meaning of the Constitution.” CONTROVERSIES BETWEEN INDEPENDENT NATIONS SUGGEST THEMSELVES WHICH ARE NOT CAPABLE OF JUDICIAL SOLUTION AND YET ARE QUITE CAPABLE OF LEADING TO WAR Thus suppose _C_ nation in the exercise of its conceded powers admits to its shore, and indeed to its citizenship, the citizens or subjects of _A_ nation and excludes those of _B_ nation from both. The discrimination is certainly within the international right of _C_ nation, but it may lead to acrimony and war. This is not a justiciable question, nor one that could be settled by a court.
