“””In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls”””
Does this clause refer to Foreign Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls?
Or does the clause refer to United States citizens who are Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls?

Apparently a New California and New Nevada both filed in support. Yes, it is on the
docket. It's Friday.

It has whatever meaning that SCOTUS chooses to give it by judicial gloss. To quote Chief Justice John Marshall in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) we must never forget that it is a constitution we are expounding," one that was "intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently, to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs.
The fact is that SCOTUS declines to exercise original jurisdiction in such cases, so it will remain a mystery.
