Actually Article III, Section 2 of the constitution merely allows the legislature to remove appellate jurisdiction from SCOTUS.
Quote:

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. In all the 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.

I find it remarkable that some of those who loudly support constitutional provisions such as the second amendment and part of the first amendment are ignorant of potentially explosive provisions of the constitution. Then when confronted with such provisions, express doubts as to the wisdom of implementing the questioned provisions. Remarkable.
