Congress may have power to limit the jurisdiction of the courts, but they never seem to use it do they?
In reality, people look to the courts as having final say on legislation. Such as the Obamacare lawsuit, or the homosexual marriage lawsuits. In such cases, everyone is looking to the courts to, in effect, set out the public policy in these areas.
I don’t think they should limit jurisdiction. In short, that creates utter chaos. What, whoever is in power both gives and takes and changes jurisdiction?
No. BAD idea.
Which is something the courts are not at all equipped to do.
As a result of such practices we have homosexual marriages mandated by courts in states that have had referendums on the subject and rejected the idea.
What we have today are imperial judges. Courts were never intended to be the last say on the law.
At least in Marbury v. Madison the court said we do not have jurisdiction. Courts rarely say that these days. They just decide that the law says what they want it to say.
