Not specifically. Article III, Section 2, of the Constitution includes this passage: "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." This clearly indicates that Congress can change the Supreme Court's and other federal courts' appellate jurisdiction, either by stripping (removing) jurisdiction over certain types of issues, or by assigning jurisdiction over a class of cases to a particular federal court. For example, the Bush administration stripped appellate jurisdiction (including writs of habeas) over Guantanamo detainees' grievances from the US Supreme Court and assigned it to the US District Court for the District of Columbia.
Do federal courts have original jurisdiction?
Yes. Original jurisdiction means the court is first to hear a case; these are often called trial courts. Appellate jurisdiction means the court reviews a case already tried in a lower court to determine whether the law and constitution were properly applied. The Supreme Court has original and exclusive jurisdiction over disputes between the states. Under the Constitution, the Court also has original jurisdiction in cases involving ambassadors and other foreign dignitaries, but it shares jurisdiction with the US District Courts, which currently hear those cases. The Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction over cases involving preserved federal questions from both state and federal courts. A "federal question" means the case involves matters related to federal or constitutional law or US treaties. "Preserved" means the "federal question" has been raised at the trial and each stage of the appeals process.
