This seems like a really bad idea. Suppose the federal government decided to make a National park in the area where your home currently stands. The law would say all private property in the area, including your home, is to be confiscated. No compensation will be paid and the Supreme Court may not hear any cases over this issue. What would be your recourse? How could you obtain justice?

Also at the time of the founders in 1795, congress decided to prevent the Supreme Court from hearing suits filed by a citizen of one state against another state. But they did that by the 11th amendment. Apparently the founders thought they needed a constitutional amendment to do this, not just a law.

OOPS. I meant to post this in the Juducial review of marriage / pledge  thread. Sorry about that.
