Firstly, the judiciary is not part of the senate, their are three branches of governance in the US; the executive, the legislature (the senate and house) and lastly, the judiciary.

The judiciaries main functions are in settling dispute between states or involving matters above state law; i.e. when a state makes a decision which could be seen as unconstitutional. In addition the power of judicial review gives the judiciary power over the executive and public officials. The separation of powers is arguably compromised in the case of the judiciary as the chief justice presides over cases of impeachment of the President.

Check article III of the constitution for their original powers.
