Why were the Founders of the US government concerned that The Supreme Court would become dominated by political concerns?
The Colonists and their descendants (us) need a Supreme body whose sole focus is to uphold and protect people's rights under the US Constitution. Though the Founders could not have envisioned the array of human rights and civil rights' concerns that would confront the US hundreds of years later, the US Constitution addresses most of the concerns, broadly and generally. But if the US Supreme Court were swayed by changes in political ideas and public political opinion, the Court could violate or dismantle the US Constitution with every change in political leaders.

Why does the US Supreme Court have jurisdiction over punishment?
The Constitution makes the Supreme Court the highest court in the United States, giving it ultimate authority over law and other constitutional issues. Most of the cases it reviews come to the Court under its appellate jurisdiction (authority to review cases that have already been tried and usually appealed once already) and involve important questions of federal or constitutional law. Some of the cases the Court is asked to review involve the death penalty, and some involve sentencing guidelines (rules used to decide what punishment the defendant receives). The Supreme Court doesn't recommend particular forms of punishment, and doesn't pronounce sentence on defendants. That is the job of the trial court. The justices review a case and try to determine whether the law and trial process conform with constitutional principles. If they believe a defendant/petitioner's rights have been violated, they may reverse or vacate (remove) the verdict and/or the sentence the defendant received. Then they write an opinion (the official decision of the Court) explaining why the lower court was wrong, and remand (return) the case to the lower court to correct the problem. The Supreme Court doesn't exactly exercise "jurisdiction over punishment," even though the defendant's punishment may be focus of an appeal. The Court is more interested in ensuring the law and its application don't violate constitutional rights. If they think the punishment given, or the rules used to decide the punishment, are in error, they make the lower court fix the problem.
