Nobody, but nobody has contended, until you, that the Supreme Court regulates the jurisdiction of the lower courts...

I didn't say that either. You might want to go back and read the words I actually use. I said the Supreme Court governs/manages the lower federal courts, which is just another way of saying they have "administrative direction," as you put it.

Also read up on 'Marbury v. Madison' by the way. Like I said before, Congress can do what ever the heck it wants to the lower Courts.
