Generally speaking, the judicial branch interprets the laws. It does not make laws and it does not enforce laws. Instead, it interprets them. In a system like that of the United States, each branch of government has its own function. The legislative branch passes laws. The executive branch enforces them. The judicial branch, by contrast, interprets the laws. What this means is that the judicial branch is the one that decides what the laws mean. When there is a dispute over the meaning of a law (whether it is a law passed by Congress or the Constitution), the judicial branch is asked to decide whose interpretation of the law is correct.
The Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court interpret the law. When we say the Court (meaning the U.S. Supreme Court), we mean the Justices of the Supreme Court. The Court (the Justices) decide sticking points in law and hand down a final decision on the matter. In general, the U.S. Supreme Court (collectively) will decide which cases to hear, and this from among those brought up to it.
