The Supreme Court doesn't resolve political conflicts.

It gives answers to legal questions.

One can agree or disagree with the answers, but I don't think I'm wrong to say that a main purpose of the Supreme Court is to be always apolitical, since the manifestations of the other government branches never are.  Why would anyone say that justices fail to be apolitical and that therefore it's their job to navigate politics and fix things that the other branches can't stop arguing about?

The Supreme Court isn't a referee or a tool of the government.  The other branches are supposed to refrain from brawling.  

If anything, the Supreme Court provokes political conflicts.  That's not supposed to be a problem.
