Fiscal deal contains language limiting SCOTUS


The fiscal deal contains language that bars judicial review of certain provisions -- such as the Mountain Valley Pipeline. Although many will disagree with allowing more fossil fuel infrastructure, the recognition of Congress constitutional power* to limit the jurisdiction of the Judicial branch may be a way to limit what many see as abuse of power by the Supreme Court.

*"...the Court has final appellate jurisdiction but 'with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.'"
