Jurisdiction stripping, yea I knew what you were talking about. You are just wrong concerning SCOTUS.

Congress creates and regulates federal courts that are lesser than the supreme court, not the supreme court itself. That would be in the Constitution, give it a read.

You would have a simple majority Democrat Congress pass laws violating any well established right enumerated or otherwise and then immediately prohibit the SCOTUS from hearing any case on the subject.

Congress can, by a bill passed by a simple majority, remove a matter from the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, and has done so many times. Read your Constitution.
