Congress wields more power than a Bond villain with a grudge. Thanks to the Exceptions Clause, they can slice and dice the Supreme Court’s appellate jurisdiction like a cheap steak. Imagine the Supreme Court ruling on a case Congress doesn’t like—Congress could just flip the table, snatch the gavel, and yell, “Not today!”

And if the Justices start acting like they matter too much? Congress could bench the entire Court for three years like sending kids to a never-ending time-out. Bonus: They could even mess with the Supreme Court’s original jurisdiction, effectively turning the judicial branch into an overpriced think tank. Who needs the President or the Court when Congress can be the star of its own dictatorship cosplay?
