7 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The notion has frequently been entertained, that the federal courts derive their judicial power immediately from the constitution ; but the political truth is, that the disposal of the judicial power (except in a few specified instances) belongs to congress. If congress has given the power to this court, we possess it, not otherwise; and if congress has not given the power to us, or to any other court, it still remains at the legislative disposal.””
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““Hor shall any circuit or district court have cognizance of any suit founded on contract in favor of an assignee, unless a suit might have been prosecuted in such court to recover thereon, if no assignment had been made, except in cases of promissory notes negotiable by the law-merchant, and bills of exchange.””
