my kids die, SCOTUS would look like the Senate and eventually Congress.

That is not what our Constitution prescribed. If they did it at SCOTUS they could do it at the circuit courts also. It would be a mess.

The Supreme Court has supervisory control over all of the federal courts and could end nationwide jurisdiction of district court orders.

District Courts are a creation of the Congress. They have the authority to restrict the District Courts. Only the Supreme Court was created by the Constitution.
