Let’s dissolve the Supreme Court. What now? The Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal are now the highest judicial authority in the land. So if an issue comes up in two circuits and they have different outcomes then there is no resolution until a federal law is passed resolving the issue. If no such law is passed then the issue remains unresolved from a national perspective. Maybe one circuit will say abortion or concealed carry is fine in that district and the other circuit may uphold laws banning these things completely. For those who are philosophically disposed to think equality of outcome is the greatest good, this should be unacceptable. It is as if you had multiple areas (11 in this case) with their own set of laws. These people want uniformity! The idea of 50 states, each with their own set of laws blows their fuses. And that is precisely what has happened here - the issue has been returned to the states.

There is no constitutional means to dissolve the Supreme Court. That’s what I point out. This guy is wrong. Congress can change the size up or down but cannot disband it. 11 would be the number that matches the Fed district courts thus each district could have a representative which is inline with our Senate having equal representation based on the state not the population in the State. Some would argue the 9 district is far to large an area and population and should be split into at least three districts then the number would be 13. There is nothing sacred about nine it is simply a number chosen by Congress in the past they have the sole power to change it.
