No. The United States Supreme Court is part of the Judicial Branch. See Article III of the US Constitution.
Congress, is the only legislative body that can overrule the Supreme Court.
The Legislative Branch (Congress) may determine the Supreme Court's jurisdiction as long as Congress doesn't violate Article III of the Constitution by adding to the Court's original jurisdiction, and as long as the interests of due process are served by appointing another court to act in the Supreme Court's place.
I believe it refers to Congress' ability to set up a tribunal to hear disputes, appeals, and complaints in regard to some action, the decisions of which can still be reviewed and overturned by the Supreme Court. An example would be Article I courts; Article I courts are also referred to as legislative courts. Article I hearings include: Territorial courts (These are federal courts located in the district of Guam, the US Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands), US Court of Military Appeals [US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces], US Court of Veterans Appeals, US Court of Federal Claims, and US Tax Court. Also included are ancillary courts with judges appointed by Article III appeals court judges, or administrative agencies. Article I judges are not subject to the Article III protections.
US Special Courts (courts of special or limited jurisdiction) organized under Congress' authority in Article I are sometimes called legislative courts because they are part of the Legislative Branch of government. Examples of legislative courts include US Bankruptcy Court, US Tax Court, and the US Court of Federal Claims. Courts established under Congress' authority in Article III are sometimes called constitutional courts. Constitutional courts comprise the Judicial Branch of government, which is independent of the Legislative Branch. The US District Courts, Court of International Trade, US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts, and Supreme Court of the United States make up the Judicial Branch of government.
AnswerNo. They pass, amend, and repeal laws. You must be confusing this branch with the Judicial branch, which in a way decides Supreme Court cases with their interpretation of certain laws.AnswerSurprisingly, the answer to this question is sometimes yes.Congress established certain courts, like the US Court of Claims, US Tax Court, US Bankruptcy Court, etc, under its authority in Article I of the constitution. These entities are known as Article I Courts (and tribunals) and are part of the Legislative Branch of government. Therefore, any decision made by an Article I court is technically being made by the Legislative Branch.When most people speak of the federal court system, however, they are thinking about the Article III (constitutional) courts that are part of the Judicial Branch of government. Article III courts have general jurisdiction over federal question cases, matters related to the Constitution, federal laws (other than those heard in Article I courts) and US Treaties. When one of these courts hears a case, the decision is made by the Judicial Branch.Judicial BranchUS District CourtsUS Court of Intentional TradeUS Court of Appeals Circuit CourtsSupreme Court of the United States

The legislative courts are responsible for helping Congress exercise its power. This is written in Article 1 of the United States Constitution.
