I understand what appellate jurisdiction is Zeitghost Jul 2023 #139

The wording in the constitution does not suggest or state what you are claiming ColinC Jul 2023 #141

The issue is about ethics not appellate jurisdiction. former9thward Jul 2023 #147

The issue is about "regulation" under the exceptions outside of appellate jurisdiction. ColinC Jul 2023 #151

Well your constitution is different than mine. former9thward Jul 2023 #153

Really? Where is that in the Constitution? yardwork Jul 2023 #51

See post 69. The answer is the 10th amendment ColinC Jul 2023 #99

And it's been pointed out Zeitghost Jul 2023 #124

Ummm... what makes you think "jurisdiction" only means impeachment? ColinC Jul 2023 #127

It's not jurisdiction over judges Zeitghost Jul 2023 #128

No ColinC Jul 2023 #129

Not necessarily, see the 'Elastic Clause'... Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 of the US Constitution, Celerity Jul 2023 #46

Right off the bat, Congress (Senate) chooses (approves) Justices & determines number on bench Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2023 #6

There's no provision in the Constitution that says the courts have judicial review either. Scrivener7 Jul 2023 #11

How do you think the court would rule if congress passed a law barring judicial review? onenote Jul 2023 #30

Why do you ask? Scrivener7 Jul 2023 #34

Because that is more closely analogous to congress regulating SCOTUS onenote Jul 2023 #37

And? He says there is nothing in the Constitution that says Congress can regulate the court. Scrivener7 Jul 2023 #40

Correct. Celerity Jul 2023 #47

My point, of course, is the the SCOTUS will decide if ethics legislation is constitutional. onenote Jul 2023 #53

Not sure why you are making an argument about this. I stated a fact. Scrivener7 Jul 2023 #57

Congress has the power to strip their appellate jurisdiction. NYC Liberal Jul 2023 #100

Yes, that is expressly mentioned in the Constitution. onenote Jul 2023 #111

Because Alito is claiming that Congress has no power at all to regulate the court, NYC Liberal Jul 2023 #157

Serious question: if Congress's power is as broad as you suggest onenote Jul 2023 #164

There is a good case to be made with Article 3 Section 1 Beastly Boy Jul 2023 #125

I think your answer is the best one here. scipan Jul 2023 #165

I see the constitution saying they can regulate jurisdiction. onenote Jul 2023 #50
