The constitutional powers of the Supreme Court are widely known to be somewhat limited. Congress can and has repeatedly limited the supreme court's and lower courts' ability to review laws. Under the US constitution, "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" and "In all 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 is generally accepted that Congress could theoretically prevent the Supreme Court from hearing all other cases, so long as a different court could hear the case so that there is judicial review. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurisdiction_stripping https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurisdiction_stripping
