Under the Constitution, Congress defines the powers of all lower courts (and can even restrict the appellate jurisdiction of the supreme court). So Congress, by a simple act of legislation, can for example prohibit federal courts from ordering state officials to recognize a same-sex "marriage", or from enjoining state officials against enforcing any particular law.
