No, it is not, the Supreme Court is NOT a lawmaking body. The job of the Supreme Court is to make sure laws are constitutional and do not infringe on the rights of the people. Congress is the Chief lawmaking body of the entire United states. Finally, the Executive branch is the law enforcement branch to ensure the laws that are constitutional are followed by the nation.
