Only indirectly is the Supreme Court a help in making laws. If the Supreme Court declares a law to be unconstitutional and therefore invalid, it explains why it made that ruling. Congress then may try to rewrite the law and remove the objectionable parts. (The Supreme Court does not give opinions on proposed legislation. )
The U.S Supreme Court ruled against the violent crimes against women act in 1994. Their ruling was made based on the idea that parts of the law were unconstitutional.
The Judicial Branch. Sometimes, the President as Chief Executive will "declare" a law "unconstitutional"; however, this is a political distinction, and if a true executive refusal to execute or enforce were apprehended by the Court, a writ of mandamuscould issue, ordering the execution or enforcement of a law.Similarly, as bills proceed through committee consideration in the House and Senate, the Congressional Research Service is sometimes used to research whether or not a particular provision would likely be deemed unconstitutional, although this need not and does not function as a bar to Congress enacting legislation parts of which or the entirety of which are later found unconstitutional by the Court.

The US Government exists as a tripod of three branches that provide Checks and Balances, and each one balances the powers of the other two branches. The US Supreme Court is the only entity charged with maintaining the letter and spirit of the US Constitution. Without the Supreme Court, the the executive and legislative branches would have nothing to "check" their powers. The Court protects citizens' rights and maintains our privileges under those rights.As the top most court, the US Supreme Court also protects citizens' rights in all 50 States. This means no State can make a law that goes against the US Constitution; the US Supreme Court could overturn it.However, the highest Court does not always view the Constitution from citizens' perspectives about our rights. The Patriot Act marginalizes rights that Americans should not have to give up. The government's spying and collecting all telephone conversations and Internet usage violates US citizens' rights. And people complain that parts of Obama-Care are unconstitutional. So the checks and balances does not always work the way it should.
