Decisions of the Supreme Court can sometimes be seen as creating new law. Such as if the SCOTUS strikes down laws banning gay marriage.
With is a corruption and usurpation of power.
The courts have no authority to create new law. That authority belongs exclusively to the legislative branch, with a small role of the executive branch. The judicial branch only has the authority to apply existing law. It has no legitimate authority to create new law.
