[Publius Valerius]

What's your point?

Congress can CREATE inferior courts, no question, but the clause you sited is merely procedural--it says nothing about the substance of the judicial power. Indeed, look at the first three words: "The judicial power..."

What is the judicial power? For that, we turn to Section two. And we're back to where I was before.

Sorry I skipped that first step for you--to make it clear, I'm not arguing that Congress doesn't have the authority to create a court called the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida; I'm saying that court doesn't have jurisdiction to hear the case.

I'm saying that court doesn't have jurisdiction to hear the case.

Now that Congress has passed and the President has signed the law saying that the court has jurisdiction, you are wrong.

Jurisdiction was granted in the bill signed by the President last night. I want this woman to live and I also want to perserve the Constitution. Congress and President Bush accomplished this.
