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

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.

If Congress can "ordain and establish" the inferior courts, that supposes setting their jurisdiction.
