Incorrect, the Circuit Judges Act of 1869 set the SCOTUS at nine justices.

You understand that acts can, like this one be changed. It was just the last update to the original judicial act of 1789. The only way to stop congress from changing it is to make it an amendment to the constitution. However since congress was given the sole responsibility of creating the judiciary I'm not sure they can over ride that power.
