	Letter Opposing Consent Decree Fairness Act (Human Rights Watch, April 13, 2005)
		The Federal Consent Decree Fairness Act allows a state or local government to file a motion to vacate or modify a consent decree four years after the decree is entered or after the election of a new state or local official.
		In many cases, the ability to fulfill the terms of a consent decree within the artificial time period imposed by the bill may either be impossible to achieve, or, require drastic steps that would not be desirable to the defendants or the plaintiffs.
		Consent decrees reflect the litigating parties’ reasoned judgment that a consensual resolution is preferable to full-blown litigation.

	Health Care Professional Information Center: Federal Court May Enforce Consent Decree Over 11th Amendment Immunity ...
		The court's decision, which resolved a split in the federal appeals court circuits, found the decree was enforceable because it had settled litigation over which the trial court had jurisdiction and imposed remedies that were consistent with the federal Medicaid law.
		Ultimately, the parties resolved the dispute through a consent decree, which authorized the parents to seek relief from the court if state officials strayed from the terms of the decree.
		Eschewing this interpretation of the 11th Amendment, the court said that enforcement of the consent decree falls within Ex parte Young principles because the decree creates a "mandatory, enforceable obligation," springs from a federal dispute, and furthers the objectives of federal law.
