The Supreme Law of the Land is a three pronged fork, the Constitution in it's entirety and the laws and treaties passed by Congress and signed by the executive. The Constitution gives no such power to the SCOTUS which authorizies them to participate in the Amendment process as outlined in that Constitution. None, nada, zippo.

The Constitution and its Amendments are the "Law of the Land". --
Both statute law, - and Constitutional law, - are subject to judicial review.

The USSC has the power of judicial review for all cases arising before it. [See Art. III]
The Constitutionality of the 18th was questioned, and they reviewed that question. - Sadly, they opined that a repugnant act of prohibition was Constitutional, contrary to all of our principles of liberty.

Fortunately, the people ignored them, and overruled by passing the 21st.
