The supreme (*) Court and the US Constitution

(*) capitalizaton as per the US Constitution

Consider merely the Abstract of the below linked 2010 article from the Boston College Law Review ---

=="This Article challenges the prevailing doctrinal, political, and academic view that the Exceptions Clause—which provides that “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”—gives Congress a license to strip the Supreme [sic] Court of jurisdiction. ..."==

That is, what I have repeatedly said concerning what the US Constitution *actually* says about the true authority of the federal courts system is *already* "the prevailing doctrinal, political, and academic view [regarding] the Exceptions Clause"; to wit: "that the Exceptions Clause ... gives Congress a license to strip the Supreme [sic] Court of jurisdiction."

That the article argues *against* this "prevailing doctrinal, political, and academic view [regarding] the Exceptions Clause" does not mean that the article's position is correct or incorrect -- but it does establish that what I have long said, based on nothing more than *reading* the US Constitution, is not just me saying it. What I have said is this: that *all* federal courts, including that of the superior court of the federal courts system, are creatures of the Congress; that except for specifically enumerated cases, the jurisdiction of the federal courts extends only so far as the Congress says it extends.

What you and I were taught in high school civics class about the Constitution establishing "three co-equal branches of government" is false. It is, in fact, a lie promulgated by the "progressives" and judicial supremacists (i.e. lawyers who bend The Law to serve the interests of lawyers).
