Justice Thomas Makes It Clear He’s Not Happy With Supremes Who Rejected Florida Lawsuit

Thomas, joined by Justice Samuel Alito, said the Supreme Court had a constitutional obligation to hear the dispute because lawsuits between states can only be brought before the high court.

“If this Court does not exercise jurisdiction over a controversy between two States, then the complaining State has no judicial forum in which to seek relief,” Thomas wrote.

There’s only one court in the country that can hear lawsuits between states, and that’s the Supreme Court.
