Can Congress Dissolve a Federal Court?

QUESTION:  Can Congress dissolve a Federal Court?  Article III, Section 1. States:  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.  Clearly our Founding Fathers intended for Congress (or the People) to be superior to the Judicial Branch for this purpose, or they would have allowed for The Supreme Court to establish their own inferior Courts, rather than Congress.  It is my opinion that if Congress can pass legislation establishing a Law, Board or Commission, they can pass legislation dissolving them.  The same is true of any Inferior Court Congress may establish.  What is your opinion?
