Theoretically that's true, but in practice it really is the SUPREME court. The judiciary is more equal, to paraphrase Orwell. It appears to be all theater now anyway.
It is a place of obvious contention but the Document is pretty clear that they are co-equal and so even a cursory glance at it says that ONLY the Supreme Court is co-equal with the other 2 branches. The lower courts are all creations of the Legislature and thus fall under the Legislature. The reason people are upset is that we know this and the Supreme Court has been dodging this moment since 1800. It won't surprise me if Trump just decides to treat this like the Barbary Pirates were treated and blow them out of the water once and for all. He has been gracious to a fault but it is time to grow up.
