The Judicial Branch has never really been very powerful. Judicial review is probably the biggest power it has.
Problem is, in order for Judicial Review to work, someone has to break an unconstitutional law, be convicted, carry the case, and repeat the last two one more time for the Court to have any power over the law.
So, a Constitutional Amendment that we need, establishing Judicial Review BEFORE the unconstitutional law does its damage.
Even if Congress unanimously votes on a law and the President signs it, it must go to the Supreme Court, for the justices and such to judge on whether or not it's Constitutional. That way we won't have to be arrested for a law to be rescinded.
That's it. If there are any questions, I'll answer them.
