The Constitution says that the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction over some cases, and appellate jurisdiction over other cases, with exceptions that the Congress shall make (article 3, section 2).
What this bill seems to do is to make this latent power more manifest, in the same fashion that the Congress may override a presidential veto if two thirds of each house of Congress wills it (article 1, section 7).
I'm much more worried about one president or five Supreme Court justices running amok with the Constitution than I am with three hundred fifty-eight senators and representatives agreeing to act in concert against our interests.
