I’m just curious here, but what actions CAN’T be reviewed by a court?

Do those black robed demigods have ANY limits on their power?

Apparently the “Exceptions Clause” gives Congress the ability to limit the courts.

Article 3, Section 2 - “In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such EXCEPTIONS, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.”

According to some legal minds (me) this means Congress could tell the Ninth Circuit it cannot rule on something.
