“The actual text of Article III says, 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.
Why would that not apply to Trump suing the State of NY for violating his 14th Amendment right to due process?”
I’ve wondered that myself. But it doesn’t. Practically speaking, there would be hundreds of thousands of cases a year before the Supreme Court if all cases against a State went right to the Supreme Court. My best guess is that it’s been interpreted to ALLOW but not REQUIRE the Supreme Court to have jurisdiction in those matters.
Cases involving ambassadors and public ministers don’t go right to the SCOTUS either. Only State vs. State goes right to the SCOTUS today.
And yet the SCOTUS refused to hear a case where - I forget how many, was it 1/3 of all the states - sued the states where their legislation’s laws were not kept in the 2020 election.
I think it might be a deal where SCOTUS CAN be appealed to, but very rarely accepts the case. And this guy may be arguing that in this case, they would take it up.
I’m told that no courts would take up the Obama eligibility issue because they were all afraid of riots in the streets. I think we’re WAY past that point right now, and these clowns need to be thinking about how much thumb-nosing and provocation from the Deep State and its criminal elements this nation can withstand, before all Hell literally breaks loose.
When we have nothing left, there is no reason to not give it all up. We’ll be celebrating Independence Day in a little over a month, but if the patriots at that time could see us now they’d be wondering what the heck we’re waiting for before we cast off the tyranny. I think at least Justice Alito understands that; hence the Appeal to Heaven. We should ALL be flying the Appeal to Heaven so nobody is deceived as to exactly where we’re at right now.
Only trouble is, our DOJ is so corrupt they would consider appealing to Heaven as treason against a regime that is quite clearly on the side of Hell.
