[Mad Dawgg]

"The powers all concern controversies between the Federal government and other entities, controversies between citizens of different states, or between citizens with land claims that involve other state governments. Nowhere does it simply say "in all matters arising between citizens of the same state," or anything to that effect."

Ahhh NO, those are in addition to the matters concerning the Constitution.

The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States...

Not "some" cases but instead "ALL" cases arising under the Constitution.

Which again shows you you are wrong.

The qualifiers listed further down in the list are in addition to that statement. The reason being is a State court would have a biased interest determining a case that was between that State and a citizen of another State. And in other examples from the rest of the qualifiers plainly the States would have no right to speak for the USA when dealing with people of a foreign state.

But you keep trying Sparky you may actually get one right by accident once. (but I seriously doubt it.)

Reading comprehension.

You should never sign a contract without a lawyer reading it for you. There's nothing else to say.
