However, for the Congress to deliberately pass a law the is clearly not Constitutional, then to remove jurisdiction from SCOTUS to review cases involving that law would be grounds for impeachment for every Congressional member who voted to do it.

I think that you can only impeach judges, justices and presidents. Not congressmen and senators. We are still a republic with a constitution and a succession of democratically elected representatives. The Founders wisely didn't give us certain powers over those representatives.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it is a constitutional point.

I believe you may be correct. I've never looked into the issue. Just sitting here - going from memory, I believe the only thing that can happen is that each house can refuse to seat a member.
OK, not that's TWO errors in the same hour - Maybe I better get back to work.

Cordially,
GE
