I don't see how that would work if they are making decisions on things congress has passed. Congress could then choose to ignore the decision they make leaving the SC pretty useless.

the point is to make elected officials take credit for supreme court rulings and responsibility for them. It could easily be setup as "either the senate or house must confirm a supreme court ruling for it to take effect". This way every supreme court ruling requires political capital to enforce. If the supreme court deviates too far into the unpopular they will simply be stalled.
