Original jurisdiction is not exclusive jurisdiction. The subordinate courts, when created, were also allowed to share in original jurisdiction, with the superior courts having appellate jurisdiction over them.

Original jurisdiction is not exclusive jurisdiction. The subordinate courts, when created, were also allowed to share in original jurisdiction, with the superior courts having appellate jurisdiction over them.

Exclusive jurisdiction is not a term used in Article III. In fact Article III Section II states SCOTUS "shall" have original jurisdiction in any case involving a state. Shall is used in laws, regulations, or directives to express what is mandatory. SCOTUS doesn't have a choice per the Constitution. SCOTUS must be the first and only to rule over any case to which a state is a party, particularly one against the United States(Congress) as is the case with Unconstitutional Obamacare.
