I suggest you read the appropriate sections, and read the article I posted for you.

My friend, the usual mode around here is conversational. If you have a point, make it in a couple of paragraphs. I'm not about to wade through five thousand word essays to find the two pertinent paragraphs.

Let me say further that there's nothing wrong with my comprehension of Article III. It is short and to the point and in it there is no grant of authority to limit jurisdiction of whatever inferior federal courts have been established.

The topic is article 3 of THE U.S. CONSTITUTION; not whatever Constitution you keep referring to.

Step #1 see Official Hooked on Phonics Website for help with literacy.

After gaining the requisite skills for comprehension, read the following from the U.S. CONSTITUTION:

Article. III.

Section. 1.

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Section. 2.

Clause 1: The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;--to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;--to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;--to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;--to Controversies between two or more States;--between a State and Citizens of another State; (See Note 10)--between Citizens of different States, --between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.

Clause 2: In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

Note 10: This Clause has been affected by amendment XI.
