The Supreme Court is nothing more (or less) than the final judicial authority in the United States. They can still only rule on specific cases that happen to get appealed far enough to make it to them.
Courts can strike down unconstitutional sections of law, if they're implicated by a case before them. And the Supreme Court has the final say in a lot of those cases, because they're the final court of appeal. But they aren't a "Constitutional Court" in any direct or immediate way.
