Demloser is right, and you are wrong. The Constitution does not set up inferior courts. It explicitly leaves it to Congress to do so. And Congress regulates those courts as well, AND the Supreme Court, apart from certain specific powers involving ambassadors, etc., which aren't relevant here. Congress can and has abolished courts, limited judicial review, etc.

"Demloser is right, and you are wrong. The Constitution does not set up inferior courts. It explicitly leaves it to Congress to do so."

I never argued that, so perhaps you should read the full set of posts before jumping into the middle of a discussion, and assuming that you know what's being discussed.

The term "inferior" and what it means is the point being discussed.

Here's the original point being debated:

"'Subordinate' may not have been the correct word, but the federal court system is "inferior" to Congress."

Are you siding with demloser in saying that inferior Federal Courts are subordinate to Congress?

Are you saying that the inferior Federal Courts exist to adjudicate according to the wishes of the Legislative branch?

You are wrong on all counts. Go back and reread the emanations from the penumbra of the Constitution.
