The three branches of government are supposed to keep an eye on each other. If Congress passes something that threatens the proper roles of courts or the executive, or that encroaches on the rights of the states and the people, courts are supposed to get in the way. The three branches are meant to contend and to keep each other relatively weak. Actually, “weak” isn’t the proper idea. “Focused” would be better — focused on their proper duties and responsibilities and out of things like what kind of cabs operate in NYC or what kind of insurance plans people do or do not purchase.
