"We need to pass a law declaring that Congress has the final word on constitutional interpretation and that federal courts do not have the power to pronounce on the validity of any federal law. Congress could do this since the Constitution is silent on the question of judicial review by the courts.

See #31. What do you think the phrase, "all cases of law and equity arising under this Constitution" means? Hmmmm?

You're talking about lawsuits, legal controversies and issues about how to apply the law. I don't see anywhere in said phrase you cite a mention the courts get to override Congress. In the Constitution, to the contrary, it is Congress alone that creates inferior courts, appropriates money to run them, and determines their jurisdiction and the sort of cases they hear.
