The Supreme Court is the only court mentioned in the Constitution. The Constitution does not describe the court, but leaves its makeup to The Congress. The Supreme Court has no say in its own makeup.

Of course, the Supreme Court had no say in whether laws were constitutional until they usurped that power in their ruling in Marbury v Madison (1803).
