| Consent decree stipulated between parties and agreed to by parties is permissible under Vermont v. New York, . States are not adjusting the boundary between them, which was fixed by the 1740 decree; the consent decree simply locates precisely the already existing boundary, and neither State is enhancing its power and threatening supremacy of the Federal Government. | ||||||||||
