[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 4276486, member: 745"] When a state is a party, the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction. Federal district courts only have original jurisdiction in cases involving crimes against the federal government and certain appeals. In 2000, Bush petitioned to the Supreme Court of the United States to stay the Florida election recount (Remember the "hanging chad" debacle?). The Supreme Court granted certiorari and ruled in favor of Bush. This wasn't an appeal. Woody [/QUOTE]
