If this bill is enacted, wouldn't that de-claw the US Supreme Court since they, being the federal government, would no longer have jurisdiction?

Blaise Pascal said — “It is not permitted to the most equitable of men to be a judge in his own cause.”

That being said, I *HIGHLY* doubt the USSC [US Supreme Court] would allow this to stand: it is far too much of a reduction of their own powers. Given that there are *many* people who believe that the Constitution says whatever the USSC says it says — that is that the Constitution is subordinate to the USSC — there is a good chance that they could get away with it as well.
