Contrary to what you may believe the Supreme Court was not granted the authority to interpret the Constitution. That was a power reserved to the states. If the senate was functioning properly the their representatives of the states in the senate would have the power to block legislation they believed violated the Constitution.

According to the 10th Amendment, powers not delegated to the government of the United States are reserved to the states. Since the power of Judicial Review was not delegated to the Supreme Court, it is a power reserved to the states.

With the ratification of the 17th Amendment, the states lost their representation in the senate and the authority to judge what is and what is not Constitutional was transferred from the states to the Supreme Court,

All legislative powers were delegated to Congress and no legislative powers were granted to the President or the Supreme Court. Today the collective opinions of nine politically appointed lawyers have turned the Supreme Court into an oligarchy unelected and unaccountable partisan politicians.

The powers not granted to the Supreme Court in Article III of the Constitution are reserved to the representatives of the people serving in the senate.

The primary responsibility of the court is to settle disputes between the states and provide the senators their opinions on what they believe is and what is not Constitutional. It is the representatives of the people in the senate that should be the ultimate arbiter of what is and what is not Constitutional. Would you rather trust the judgment of a panel of 9 unelected and unaccountable lawyers or 100 senators who represented the legislatures of their respective states?
