2 SUPREME COURTS.
Here's the proof. (I'll bet you thought I was crazy.)
I have been saying that the One
Supreme Court in which the Judicial Power of the United States shall
be vested and the Supreme Court of the United States were different
courts.
The One Supreme Court in which the
Judicial Power of the United States shall be vested was created by
Article III of the United States Constitution.
The Supreme Court of the United States
is the highest inferior Court that congress may from time to time
ordain and establish.
I found this in a case entitled
National Exchange Bank of Baltimore v. Peters, 144 U.S. 570 (1892).
In the opinion of the court you will find this.
"Section 4 of the Judiciary Act of
March 3, 1891, 26 Stat. 826, 827, c. 517, provides
That no appeal, whether by writ of
error or otherwise, shall hereafter be taken or allowed from any
district court to the existing circuit courts, and no appellate
jurisdiction shall hereafter be exercised or allowed by said existing
circuit courts, but all appeals by writ of error [or] otherwise from
said district courts shall only be subject to review in the Supreme
Court of the United States or in the circuit court of appeals, hereby
established, as is hereinafter provided, and the review by appeal, by
writ of error, or otherwise, from the existing circuit courts, shall
be had only in the Supreme Court of the United States or in the
circuit courts of appeals, hereby established, according to the
provisions of this act regulating the same." National Exchange Bank
of Baltimore v. Peters, 144 U.S. 570 (1892)
Did you catch the skillful use of
wording? "...but all appeals by writ of error [or] otherwise from
said district courts shall only be subject to review in the Supreme
Court of the United States or in the circuit court of appeals, hereby
established,"
Just what was hereby established?
Subject to review in the Supreme Court of the United States or in the
circuit court of appeals, hereby established.
The Supreme Court of the United States
and the circuit court of appeals, hereby established.
"The appellate jurisdiction was first regulated by the act of Sept. 24, 1789, but radical changes were effected in it by the act of March 3, 1891, which created the circuit court of appeals." Bouvier's Law Dictionary 1914 Version Updated, Vol II, pg 1204
Let me remind you or the admonition of
the Louisiana representatives of the occupational government.
"§4.
Unambiguous wording not to be disregarded
When
the wording of a Section is clear and free of ambiguity, the letter
of it shall not be disregarded under the pretext of pursuing its
spirit." La R.S. 1:4
How about a quote from the
Slaughterhouse cases?
"It
is too clear for argument that the change in phraseology was adopted
understandingly and, with a purpose." Slaughterhouse
Cases 83 U.S. 36
