Principle of FEDERALISM in US Constitution DOESN'T refer to a strong central FEDERAL government

(e.g. in many other countries such as Russian Federation, Pakistan, India etc.)

Instead, it refers to a loose "Federation" based on a minimum-yet-optimal "FEDERAL" Constitution :

Tying together multiple strong, individually self-sufficient state governments.
Going back to the days of founding of the nation, referencing the original "Federalist Papers",

Alexander Hamilton-John Adams "Federalist Party" faction

& their vigorous, spirited & @ times violent debates w/ Thomas Jefferson-James Madison Democrat-Republican faction :
It was Hamilton's Federalist faction that emerged as losers in the early years.

Hamilton's FEDERALISM idea was in fact of a strong central FEDERAL government similar to the Russian Federation of today.
Jefferson-Madison faction emerged as winners in the early years.

However, it's obvious that the nation has strayed very far away from the principle of FEDERALISM as envisioned by those Jefferson-Madison winners from the early years.
Especially after the formation of the criminal central bank Federal Reserve, the early loser Hamilton & his ideas have emerged as today's winners, which is truly unfortunate.
It's no surprise that Alexander Hamilton (& his strong central federal government FEDERALISM dream) is revered as some kind of a hero & inspiration by the authoritarian power-loving Neo-Conservative & Neo-Liberal factions of today.
By filing the "Original Jurisdiction" election corruption lawsuit in US Supreme Court against Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia & Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
the Attorney General of Texas has rekindled the FEDERALISM debates of early founding years in a very interesting & somewhat unexpected manner.
Through years of dysfunctional education system, obfuscation of history, incessant propaganda & effective NON-EXISTENCE of a true functioning media,
large number of (esp. Neo-Liberal) American masses are totally removed from reality,

especially to understand & appreciate finer & complex nuances of the FEDERALISM debate,

or what a term like "Original Jurisdiction" even means.
Regardless, the fact remains that the original Jefferson-Madison FEDERALISM interpretation of US Constitution remains the supreme law of the land (by a very thin sliver),

& the US Supreme Court would be well within their rights to interpret "Original Jurisdiction" based on it.

The GOP got rid of the SCOTUS filibuster so they could jam through three fringy right-wing Alito clones, including one right before the election, but sure thing, bud.

“Uh, actually, they got rid of the SCOTUS filibuster because Harry Reid did it first for something totally different! I am very smart!”

No. Knock it off.

Here’s the thing about the “But Harry Reid...” excuse:

1. McConnell was holding up Obama nominees, some *for literal years* without a vote.

2. Had he *not* done that, Trump would have inherited *even more* vacant seats.
