No.
UNITED STATES, PETITIONER v. IDAHO, ex rel. DIRECTOR, IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES
on writ of certiorari to the supreme court of idaho
[
Justice
As the Court points out, ante, at 6-7, before 1985 "fees" comparable to those at issue in this litigation were taxed as "costs" in Idaho. Because I am persuaded that these exactions are precisely what Congress had in mind when it excepted judgments for "costs" from its broad waiver of sovereign immunity from participation in water rights adjudications, I concur in the Court's judgment.
