Sad but true, the USG uses SCOTUS as a court to decide internal disputes. The founders did not forcee this eventiality.

It's more like Congress uses the SCOTUS (and federal judges) to enact legislation that congress hesitates to touch, because of unpopularity.

The Congress does this with enforcement as well -- oh, the [EPA/NSA/CIA/FBI/DEA/etc] is all out of control? So sorry, but they're not part of the Legislative branch — our hands are tied. Really. (They do the same WRT money-value and the Federal Reserve.)
