I never looked into it before but it turns out the lower courts are not actually a part of the Constitution. They're just there to make it feasible for the Supreme Court to filter out the really, really important cases. We don't actually have to live with these people lording over us.
Yep. Also important to note: SC Justices are only there to serve for a term of "good behavior."
What good behavior is, is fully left to interpretation. Personally, I find it to be bad behavior when these assholes in robes overstep their boundaries in obvious ways (e.g. Roe v. Wade).
Seriously? Activist judges is one of our ugliest and biggest pain in the asses we have. This would be amazing.

The Constitution says we need a Supreme Court with a Chief Justice and everything else is just an addon.

You have to change the law, though.
