Questions presented

Congress has the sole power to govern the federal courts’ original and review jurisdiction of state-court judgments. Does Rooker s usurpation of Congress’ power to expand this Court’s jurisdiction to include exclusive jurisdiction for appellate review of state-court judgments, and to contract the federal inferior courts’ jurisdiction to exclude all original and review jurisdiction of state-court judgments, violate the Separation of Powers doctrine and KokkonenP.
-
Has the combined effect of the federal inferior courts’ various local rules resulted in the courts’ ability to eliminate a htigant’s right to be heard in violation of the 5th Amend.’s Due Process Clause, 7th Amend.’s Right of Trial by Jury, and Goldberg?
