Article 3, Section 1
"The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish."

So Congress can ordain and establish inferior courts. Who knew Congress has the power to establish a court or disestablish one too.

"So Congress can ordain and establish inferior courts."

They didn't make a court. They made a law to get someone into an established Federal Court.

Yes, Article 3 Section 1 makes the courts subordinate to the legislative branch.

[Wolfstar]

The Congress establishes -- meaning creates and funds -- all lower federal courts. However, the Supreme Court governs/manages them. Here's the controlling language from the Constitution:

Article III, Section 2

Clause 2: In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
