Monsanto Protection Act Signed By Obama, GMO Bill “Written By Monsanto” Signed Into Law | Global Research

I was initially incensed that this law was signed, especially in light of the statement, "...even if future research shows that GMOs or GE seeds cause significant health problems, cancer, etc, anything, that the federal courts no longer have any power to stop their spread, use, or sales."
First, how can the legislative branch limit the jurisdiction of the judicial branch of government?
That asside, the Monsanto Protection Act expired at the end of 2013. After that the federal courts regain their power. I am disgusted that it was ever proposed, and I wonder why they would spend any time or money on a law that expires in six months. There must be more to this story than meets they eye.
