Yes, the courts interpret the Constitution. The Supreme Court of the United States, specifically, makes the final determination about how the Constitution should be interpreted.
According to the US Constitution itself, the United States Supreme Court is the final interpreter of the Constitution. The Court's decisions are final and are seldom changed.
In a way whatever body makes the final interpretation of the Constitution is the Supreme Court - that is what the term implies. That is mostly what the Supreme Court is designed to do. One might argue that the way the Court is chosen should be different, but the current system seems to have worked well for more than 200 years- I am not inclined to change it at this time. Further, the Constitution can be changed without the Court's approval, so Supreme Court rulings are not truly final. For example, the Court once ruled that slavery could not outlawed by a state law.

The Supreme Court is the final appeals court; decisions made by it are final. But these decisions still represent the interpretation of the court, and such decisions can theoretically be overturned by the same or future courts.
