The chances of you being in a court that doesn't have jurisdiction are about zero.

You can challenge it all you want. You raise the objection, the Judge rules (in almost every case, against this kind of silliness) and the process moves on. If you don't like the ruling, and you lose your case, that's your alleged "grounds" for an appeal.

Then it's up for you to prevail at the appellate level, and since the appeals courts have seen the same kind of frivolous stuff before, you may have the fun of making the same kind of challenge all over again and being shot down yet again.

But if that's what you enjoy doing, go for it. Only after a few rounds will most courts deem you a vexatious litigant and bar you from any further filings. Some have more patience than others. There are a few, however, that don't suffer fools gladly. You may want to watch their demeanor in court before you wander out into the legal weeds too far and wind up in contempt.
