Summary:

Examines the constitutionality of legislative proposals to limit the jurisdiction of Federal courts to hear cases regarding particular areas of constitutional law, known as "court-stripping" legislation. Reviews proposals to limit consideration of specific constitutional issues to State courts, both subject to and not subject to Supreme Court review; prohibit any Federal or State court from considering a specific constitutional issue; and limit remedies and procedures available to the court after constitutional injury has been established. Also discusses laws intended to influence constitutional results generally
