You may be right, but there are some buts. One is that if an issue is excluded from the inferior courts it is difficult to see how it would arrive at the Supreme Court.

I'm sorry, but I don't quite follow your point. You stated that Congress has authority over the federal courts. I pointed out that the Constitution limits that power to only lower courts. Whether or not a particular case makes it to the Supreme Court is irrelevant to that distinction.
