Just a few facts.

SCOTUS justices are not appointed for life. They serve "during good behavior". They can be removed from the bench through the Constitution's Impeachment Process. Only one SCOTUS justice has been subjected to that process: Samuel Chase in the early 1800s. He was not convicted by the Senate.

The Congress can change the SCOTUS appellate jurisdiction if it chooses to. It never has as far as I know.

And Apple, I have read Levin's Men in Black. It is over 200 pages of an ideological rant directed against liberals which is not unexpected from that high-pitch voiced ideologue. In light of Article III, Section 2. paragragh 2 of the Constitution, how can Levin (or anyone) conclude that the SCOTUS can not conduct judicial review. Preposterous.
