Can someone point me to where the constitution references this Democracy the supreme court justices talk about?

[@leodigiosia9418]

If the supreme court didn't have original jurisdiction over the secretary of state, who does? This is the detail of Mar vs Mad that I never understood. Could Marbury have successfully requested the writ via a district court? That seems unlikely, but *someone* must have original jurisdiction over a presidential cabinet

Maybe Congress? They approved the cabinet and they would make the connection apparent with the Tenure Act of 1867.

District court has original subject matter jurisdiction over the claim. The Supreme Court could have heard this case on appeals. Article 3 section 2 the court has appellate jurisdiction over all other cases or controversies arising under the constitution of the United States.
