They're not the final arbiter, if the SCOTUS does something wrong the constitution can be amended to clarify or change the intent of the law. Then the SCOTUS will be beholden to that constitutional amendment. That there isn't political will to routinely do this in response to bad SCOTUS rulings is not an inherent problem with the system itself.
