Interestingly, in the case which the article cites, one could argue that Congress repealing the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction to hear a case already pending would constitute an ex post facto law, which is prohibited by the Constitution. Congress could prohibit the court from reviewing future cases, but not current ones.

It depends on the regulations or exceptions Congress makes.
