No. Congress passes laws. The Supreme Court interprets those laws if there is a challenge, and decides whether particular laws are in conflict with the Constitution or other already-established laws.

No. The Supreme Court belongs to no one. It is the head of the Judicial Branch of the US Government as established by the Constitution, and is independent of the other branches of government. The Executive Branch appoints judges and the Congress approves them.
