The Supreme Court of the United States has original jurisdiction in two (2) instances under Article III (3), Section 2 of the United States Constitution:

  1. all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and
  2. those in which a State shall be Party.[1]

In the above two instances, a party may file directly with the US federal Supreme Court from the outset.
