no, they not supposed to interpret.....although the idea was contemplated by the founders. Their constitutional power exists only to judge congressional law against the plain text of the constitution, interpret the law alone to see if it violates the constitution, then render their decision. In all cases, they are supposed to favor the constitution over the law written by congress.
Let's be very clear, what you are saying is currently the way it happens to be now. That does not mean its according to the constitution, it's just blindly accepted by an ignorant populace.
