Congress can limit the authority of the judiciary on any subject, if they want to. It’s in the Constitution. But they have rarely if ever done so.

Congress can write a law exempting it from Judicial Review. But do they have the motivation to do this, or be loyal to their donors, who have purchased them for the donor’s wishes.

Perhaps this unlawful, treasonous judicial interference will be the precipitating cause for populist “corrective action”.

These courts must have already been extended this jurisdiction, or else they have stolen it. Here is the relevant portion of the Constitution speaking directly to this - Article 3, Section 2, Clause 2

2: In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

Pretty clearly that means ALL other courts should stand down and suck it. Plus, Congress can even tell the Supreme to stand down.
