An encouraging — though probably doomed — development: “Mr.
Derbyshire—In your latest article, you mention that Article III, Section 2
of the Constitution gives the Congress power to make Regulations and
Exceptions with respect to the Supreme Court’s appellate jurisdiction, and
ask, ‘Why don’t they act on it?’ Well, they are. There’s a bill before
the House that would allow the Congress to reverse a Supreme Court decision
on ‘the constitutionality of an Act of Congress.’ It will be interesting to
see what happens to this bill. I suspect it
won’t make it out of committee.”
