What is the highest court in the United States?

What does this answer mean?

The highest court in the United States is the Supreme Court. It's the only court the Constitution creates by name: Article III establishes one Supreme Court and lets Congress create the lower federal courts.

The Supreme Court sits at the top of the federal court system, above 94 district courts, where federal trials take place, and 13 courts of appeals. The federal courts explain laws and settle disagreements about them, including whether a law goes against the Constitution.

The Court has nine justices: a Chief Justice and eight associate justices. They're nominated by the president, approved by the Senate, and serve during good behavior, usually for life. Congress set the number at nine in 1869, and it hasn't changed since.

This is one of the 20 questions on the 65/20 list. Supreme means highest, so the name itself gives the answer. At the interview, say "the Supreme Court."
