The

Supreme Court

is very powerful in that it is able to review acts by

Congress

or the

Executive Branch

and determine them to be unconstitutional. The Court is also able to "legislate from the bench," or effectively create law through court cases (known as precedents). Therein lies the Supreme Court's weakness, however, as it is generally unable to act independently - the Court must, in most cases, wait for a case to appear in a lower court or wait for an act by one of the other branches in order to "legislate."
