April,

SCOTUS has to take the case because constitutionally no other Court has jurisdiction over the soon to be filed case.

This is incorrect. The SCOTUS is not the court of original jurisdiction on matters concerning the Legislative or Executive branches. If General what's his name wants to challenge an order from Obama he goes to the Federal district court, then to the court of appeals and then, upon grant of Cert. to the SCOTUS.

The public seems to think the SCOTUS has original jurisdiction here. It doesn't. It takes appeals from Article III courts.

If you could direct me to that part of Federal Civil Procedure that grants SCOTUS original jurisdiction in this matter you would be greatly helping the cause.

Thanks
