Reply #16: What's unconstitutional about it?

[Shrek]

The Constitution itself gives them the authority to do this:

Article 3 section 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.

It's pretty clear that they've got the authority to strip jurisdiction. Doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do.
