Original jurisdiction is at SCOTUS, since a State is a party in the court proceeding.

Article 3, section 2:
“In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction.”

Original jurisdiction means _only_ jurisdiction. No other court has and authority to hear, much less decide the case.

Follow the law of USA, POTUS.
