If you read the whole act it nearly makes the SOI a king. I believe the wording my dad got his congressmen to remove was, "all cases arising in DOI jurisdiction, the SOI's decision is final." It was changed to "SOI is the last administrative decision" The was NO appeal, constitutional or not above the SOI. Now you can appeal to the federal district courts, Circuit courts and the SCOTUS.
When the bill ended up on president Ford's desk he called the SOI and asked HIM if it was a good bill and should he sign it? What do you think he said.
