Jurisdiction Stripping, Constitutional Supremacy, and the Implications of Ex Parte Young

Given the Supreme Court's current federalist momentum, it is possible that the Court might approach a jurisdiction-stripping law largely as a question of judicial federalism--the proper role of state and federal courts within the dual-court system--and interpret Article III as allowing Congress essentially to divert substantive issues to state courts. Considering the increased prominence of federalist principles under the current Court and the implications this may have for Congress's power to restrict federal court jurisdiction, a new examination of jurisdiction stripping from a federalist perspective, tempered by its counteracting nationalist principle, is appropriate.
