... that Congress withdrew the U.S. Supreme Court's power to hear appeals from petitions for writs of habeas corpus in the circuit courts the first time the Court considered such a case?

Length OK, AGF for offline citation; hook meets length standards, but link to article is somewhat buried deep in the hook and hidden by a generic link. Suggest something like (and please tweak if I am mangling the intent):

ALT1 ... that the first time the Chase Court considered an appeal from a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the circuit courts, Congress withdrew the U.S. Supreme Court's power to hear those appeals?

or

ALT2 ... that Criminal law in the Chase Court was impacted when Congress withdrew the U.S. Supreme Court's power to hear appeals from petitions for writs of habeas corpus in the circuit courts?

Thanks. I'm fine with ALT 1 as long as the singular/plural problem is fixed. Should be "a petition for a writ" instead of "petitions for writs" and "a circuit court" instead of "the circuit courts". Don't like the word "impacted" in ALT2. Savidan 18:18, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Fixed the singular/plural issue. I sort of liked #2 just because it makes it clear that this article is about criminal law, since there is a separate article on the court itself. Is there another verb that would work for ALT2? --Esprqii (talk) 18:22, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
