Congress can limit the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme court.
HOWEVER, they can't pass legislation that violates the Bill of rights and under Marbury v. Madison can strike down laws repugnant to the Constitution.
The pledge isn't exactly an enumerated power of Congress (interstate commerce, taxing, spending, etc.) so I don't even know where they were going with it other than to trick the unknowing voter into thinking that they were legitimately trying to protect "under God".
