““Leaving aside any dissertation on ‘jurisdiction’ or ‘comity’, we think the plain language of the [anti-injunction] statute means what it says and constitutes a positive direction by Congress which this Court should obey. The 1948 Revisors did not change the mandatory language as * * * expounded by the Supreme Court.””
