" You should read the U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section 2, Clause 2. The second sentence...Thus the Supreme Court is an appellate court subject to restrictions imposed by Congress--by statute, not amendment.

Clause one supercedes and gives both primary jurisdiction and the fundamental powers. They are given w/o exception, or limit, including infringement by Congress. Clause 2 involves other powers and tasks.
