But what exactly is jurisdiction?

There is first of all the jurisdiction of the 50 states of the Union — the Constitutional Republic. This is the land mass where the Constitution is in full force and effect and the National Government only has, or at least was intended by the foundation of the Republic, limited legislative jurisdiction here. As such, the National Government is completely restricted from creating a federal state within any of the sovereign states of the Union [again, the Constitutional Republic]. The federal courts such i.e., United States District Courts and the USTC have no geographical jurisdiction over those 50 states of the Union.

The second jurisdiction is that of the District of Columbia [Washington, D.C.]. This is where the territorial or tribunal jurisdiction of the United States District courts or the USTC indeed has full and lawful jurisdiction to hear issues related to the needs and concerns of the National Government. As strange as it might seem at first glance, the Constitution has NO FULL FORCE and effect of law within the exclusive sovereign municipal/monarchial jurisdiction of the National Government. That is correct! The Constitution has no lawful impact over the National Government and its legislative Acts of Congress WITHIN the District of Columbia.
