The People.

"The People" how? You've already eliminated the courts from having any say.

In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

Since the case appears to be between a person and the United States and the case was not originally handled by the Supreme Court, Congress can tell the Supreme Court to butt out. It therefore appears that the Supreme Court is not the final arbiter.
