Congress had express authority to confer original jurisdiction on the District Courts so long ass they are inferior to the Supreme Court.

There are plenty of Article I courts that do not have such jurisdiction because of the Constitutional mandate.

But, I agree that if Congress can grant authority, Congress can take it away. And, it is certainly appropriate to prevent these no account political appointees from overriding the actions of the POTUS.

Gentle ping. I think our goal should be to return to Constitutional law. Otherwise Trump and no one else can right the ship of state.
