It says a lot when so much power is in the hands of just nine appointed judges who serve for life. But hey, that's what the Founding Fathers intended, no?

Pretty much. Three branches with checks and balances. The courts being one, and of course the high court has the most power in the judicial branch.

They certainly don't have a lot more power than the legislative and executive. Never seen the Supremes send us to war for instance.
