What can the US Supreme Court do after Congress passes a new law?

Nothing unless a case appealed to the Supreme Court asks a constitutional question directly related to that law. If the Court grants certiorari on such a case, they can use the power of judicial review to decide whether the law conforms with the US Constitution. If they determine the law is unconstitutional, they can nullify it and render it unenforceable.The Supreme Court can only apply judicial review to legislation under review in a case on appeal. Contrary to popular belief, the Supreme Court cannot be proactive in reviewing laws.The justices don't have constitutional authority to overturn legislation simply because they don't like it. Someone who is severely and directly, negatively affected by the law, and has a grievance that can be resolved by a court, must file suit and exhaust the required appeals process before the Supreme Court would have an opportunity to review the case (and the law).

Who creates the agenda for the US Supreme Court?

You may be asking who creates the docket, or schedule of oral arguments, for the US Supreme Court. This is handled by the Supreme Court Clerk of Court, with input from the Chief Justice once the Court grants certiorari (agrees to review) a case. The Clerk of Court handles administrative details related to organizing and processing cases.If you're referring to a case conference or meeting agenda, those are set by the Chief Justice.
