The court is actually meant to be more trusted than congress. They don't pass laws, they just interpret them. That's why there's only 9 members and why supreme court appointments are taken so seriously. There was a contentious period during the great depression where FDR threatened to pack the court. A serious infringement on what is supposed to be an impartial court.
