Although Article III mentions jurisdiction "arising under the Constitution," it isn't strictly delegated in our Constitution. The Supreme Court made a power grab very very early on in our Nation's history, thus designating themselves as the ultimate arbiters of the Constitution. The tradition has been respected since. Very shrewd move.
