Well SCOTUS refused to hear the Texas v. Pennsylvania brought under its original jurisdiction, and that was constitutionally required to have been heard. That point is in dispute.

No, it's not:
"Public ministers of every class, are the immediate representatives of their sovereigns. All questions in which they are concerned, are so directly connected with the public peace, that as well for the preservation of this, as out of respect to the sovereignties they represent, it is both expedient and proper, that such questions should be submitted in the first instance to the highest judicatory of the nation. "
