There was no abuse of power here. What we have witnessed here is the congress exercising power over the federal courts, which is granted in Article 3 of the constitution. All federal courts (with the exception of the supreme court) are creations of congress. Congress can give these courts power and take their power away as it pleases. Like it or not, congress was well within its constitutional rights to act as it has.
