Where is the power of the courts to get involved? It's not in the Constitution.

Yes, it most certainly is. Read relevant language is up above. Or read the entire Constitution for yourself. Here's a link.

I'm confused. Are you saying that the courts DO have the power to hear this? So you're in favor of letting the federal courts decide?

Congress can do what ever the heck it wants to in regard to the lower Federal Court. Political action does not take place in a vacuum. Read up on the 1789 Judiciary Act and get back to me.

Congress has the power to eradicate the lower courts if they want, heck, they have overturned over 300 Court decisions in the last 40 yrs. Congress has jurisdiction over the Court, and the Court is subject to such regulation and exceptions "as the Congress shall make".parentheses from 'Marbury'
