As I understand it, there is a statute giving the President the authority to do what he did and at the same time denying the Supreme Court jurisdiction. The Constitution gives Congress the right to determine the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, so the plaintiff in this case has to argue that the President is doing something the Constitution doesn't allow Congress to authorize him to do. That's why they are making this crazy religious discrimination argument
