Congress has the authority to pass a non-reviewable law.Is that articulated in the constitution? I don't support any one branch declaring itself supreme, and if congress does so by stating it's laws are immutable and above review then they are doing so. I believe in turn that courts should be reviewing laws for constritutionality, not on the basis of their own desires and/or preferences.

In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
The above is from Article 3, Section 2 of the Constitution. Chief Justice Roberts wrote a paper on it and says it's pretty clear that Congress can pass a non-reviewable law.
In fact, they did so just about a year or so ago.
