The Congress in the DTA clearly and directly removed this case from their jurisdiction as of 30 Dec 2005.

No. The DTA did not apply retroactively to cases currently pending, so the Supreme Court still had jurisdiction to decide Hamdan

Jurisdiction is jurisdiction. Either they have it, or they don't. As of Dec 30,2005 they lost it. If Congress wanted them to retain jurisdiction for pending cases, then they'd have so written it, as they've done before. This is the way they've always previously ruled as well. The majority just decided to ignore it this time.
