US Constitution only requires one court. Rest are ‘created’.
Thu 2:41 pm +00:00, 9 Jul 2026A lot of Americans, not surprisingly, do not know that our Constitution only requires ONE court and that is the US Supreme Court.
All of the lower courts are created by Congress.
Most people also do not know that our Constitution says SC Justices remain in office as long as they demonstrate “good behavior” and I think anyone that truly understands the Constitution also know most of the members of the SC have not demonstrated “good behavior.”
They have all at one time violated the Constitution but some much more often than others. Congress can defund the lower courts, consolidate the lower courts and I believe can also decide which cases they hear.
