Actually the Constitution gives Congress the authority to limit the jurisdiction of the federal courts. Art. III, sec. 2, clause 2, enables Congress to exceptions to the Supreme Court's appellate jurisdiction. This clause has been much cited whenever the Supreme Court issues a decision that some loudmouths don't like; they say, We'll pass a law depriving the Supreme Court of the power to review this topic, and then we will re-enact the very law that the Court just overturned. Altho there are one or two instances of this sort of authority being hinted at, I think it has never been exercised fully.

Additionally, under Article I, Congress can create specialized courts whose jurisdiction is limited to certain topics and situations, such as the Tax Court, or the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
