Rush on a roll, going Constitutional!

Thanks for reminding me. Allow me to preach to the choir by harping on Article III one more time. All inferior federal courts serve at the pleasure of Congress, which in turn serves at the pleasure of the American people. If it pleases the American people Congress can eliminate all inferior federal courts, including the federal court that ruled on the Schiavo case.

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.

Rush keeps saying the Congress dictates the jurisdiction of the courts, according to Article III. I can't find that in the Article.
