Wonder why SCOTUS now doesn’t have original jurisdiction ?
SCOTUS has appellate jurisdiction but not original jurisdiction in this matter
Art III, Section 2, paragraph 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. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.”
