Wrong, Congress is given the authority under Article III, Section 1 to setup the federal courts which includes their jurisdiction. Congress has already limited the court's jurisdiction before and they can do it again. There is also a bill to remove the federal court's ability to hear any cases involving homosexual marriage but that's another issue.

You need to read the text of Article III, Section I. My explanation in the previous message will help.

The "Exceptions Clause" is roundly ignored by Congress since it is too cowardly to direct the Court.
