The constitution limits the powers of the Supreme Court by letting the president (executive branch) choose the supreme court justices, and pardoning people. The legislative branch limits the power of the supreme court by approving the justices that the President choose and by amending the Constitution.

"the court has made its decision, now let them try to enforce it".

This may not answer the question fully, but as the court has no way to enforce its decisions, it depends on the President to enforce it for them. I recall school issue of segregation in the south when Eisenhouer sent federal troops to ensure the blacks entered white schools. If he had not, the courts order would not have been enforced by the states in that region.

Recently, a federal judge ruled on "dont ask dont tell". If the President didnt agree with the courts ruling, and neither did the military. who would enforce the courts order?

All members of the Supreme Court are nominated by the President and confirmed by Congress. So, while the Supreme Court can freely exercise its powers, the President gets to choose the people he wants to add to the court. Normally, the President only adds new members when previous members retire or die, however, it has sometimes happened that the President has simply expanded the size of the court in order to be able to add more members sooner. By choosing people who are of the same ideology as himself, a President can get the kind of court rulings that he wants. (I might have phrased this "he or she" as I normally do, but of course, America has never yet had a female President. It could still happen, some year.)

The Supreme Court holds the power of judicial review, meaning it can declare a law unconstitutional. The law would then be repealed, checking the power of congress. (see Marbury V. Madison)

It can say if the law is unconstitutional or not which makes sure the president does not make any wrong or unfair laws.
