The whole point of courts is to be the place of judgment as to whether a law is actually being violated or not.
Let’s try it like this: “If Congress doesn’t like how police implement the law they are free to pass laws to clarify their intent. They don't need unelected and unaccountable Justices to do that for them.“
The whole problem is that without that branch of separated power, the police/federal agencies can do whatever they want, regardless of what the law says. Congress could pass new laws every year that say things like “No, we really meant it, police can’t randomly arrest people and keep them in jail forever.” But there wouldn’t be any way to judge whether they are doing that.
