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.
How stupid to you have to be to read that exception in any way other than "Supreme Court appellate jurisdiction may be waived in favour of Supreme Court original jurisdiction, for a specific law, by an act of congress"?
