SCOTUS has the only jurisdiction when a state sues the Federal Government.

California will sue a federal office, not the federal government. Thus, this case will start in a federal district court and then go the Ninth Circus Court of Absurdities.

“California will sue a federal office, not the federal government. Thus, this case will start in a federal district court and then go the Ninth Circus Court of Absurdities. “

Meanwhile, hopefully the money involved will be “sequestered” pending the outcome of the lengthly litigation.

As an aside, Judge Napolitano says the State will win, at least initially, because the current funding comes from the Obola Budget, which specified the terms under which the money would be spent. It will be interesting to see if he’s right.
