Congress can't abolish the US Supreme Court because such an action would be unconstitutional. Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution mandates that the federal government must have a Supreme Court, head of the Judicial branch of government.

Additionally, the Constitution only allows Congress to exercise certain enumerated and implied powers; it lacks ability to act outside the scope of the authority described in the Constitution.
