The Congress already has the authority to disband or restructure all the courts under the Supreme Court. Why not just abolish all the courts and start over?

Article III Section I

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. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Because there is a strong pro-death majority in the Senate and they would never stand for it.
