Article 3 gives the SCOTUS that power.

Nonsense.

That was well understood at the time, by proponents and opponents of the Constitition.

Now you want to argue legislative intent, when earlier you rejected it? ROFL!!!

It should not be hard to recognize that our government is simply out of control. That all four branches (the professional bureaucracy is effectively a fourth branch) regularly and routinely seize powers not granted to them. That they are functionally a tyranny.

Even the worst of the Federalists did not (overtly) intend to create an arbitrary, capricious, unlimited, and unaccountable government ... yet that is precisely what we have. Delegated authority is irrelevant to it; seized power is the rule of the day. It's tyranny, even if some folks are unwilling to call it that. Even your own arguments on this thread support that fact.

I think it's pretty obvious.

Incorrect. I said nothing of anyone's intent.
