The Supreme Court has always the power of judicial review because it can always look into the legality of every law, statute or acts done by the Legislative and Executive Departments as provided for in the Constitution.

I assume you mean McCollough V. Maryland. Very old supreme court case, but the case that truly established judicial review was Marbury v. Madison.
If the Supreme Court had no power of judicial review, its role would be extremely limited. It would only be able to hear cases within its original jurisdiciton, such as lawsuits between states. It would not be able to review decisions of state courts or the Federal courts beneath it. Would you really want that?

Yes, it has the power of judicial reviews.

Of course. Checks and balances are provided for in the Constitution, my friend.
