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.

I agree. The constitution explicitly establishes the supreme court and to abolish it requires an amendment. Also agree that Congress may increase the number of justices. But the thrust of my post was to consider the implications of what they are suggesting. It is clear that these folks do not consider the implications of what they want to do, nor how to actually do it.
