District Courts, as well as the Circuit Courts of Appeals, are not mentioned in the Constitution. Only the one Supreme Court is, in Article III.

Therefore, all lower courts are NOT coequal and have no authority over the other branches.

This is simple logic.

Congress can create inferior courts, per Article III. It cannot however give them coequal power, that is reserved for the only court mentioned in Article III, the one Supreme Court.

The Congress, the President, the one Supreme Court are all creations of the Constitution, everything else is subservient to them.

Not even the Federal Reserve can have a carve out, no matter what any statute claims. Saying otherwise would make them a coequal branch.
 
The legislative can certainly give such a power as long as it is not forbidden by the Constitution.
