Question presented

Is the "Judiciary Act of 1891 (26 Stat. 826)" and the "Judiciary Act of 1925 (43 Stat. 936)" unconstitutional acts as the federal constitution identifies the people's right to appeal to the United States Supreme Court? Does the Congress have the authority to diminish a constitutional right through enacting legislation, namely "Judiciary Act of 1891 (26 Stat. 826)" and the "Judiciary Act of 1925 (43 Stat. 936)" that limits the people's right to appeal to the United States Supreme Court? Does the District Court, Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals and Supreme Court have jurisdiction to hear claims based on a United States Land Patent No. 18364, that was issued by Congress and President Polk in 1845, where Illinois, DuPage county, and the Village of Glendale Heights and Bloomingdale Township now wish to tax and regulate the property, but failed to reserve rights for future taxation, regulation, and zoning prior to the Land Patent being granted? Assuming the District Court, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals and Supreme Court does have jurisdiction to hear the matter, does the District Court have power to issue a permanent injunction against Illinois, DuPage county, the Village of Glendale Heights and the Bloomingdale Township from asserting a right or interest to assess and collect a property tax on Petitioners non-commercially used private property, when Illinois, DuPage county, the Village and Township failed to reserve any future right, title or interest to tax, regulate or zone the subject property prior to
