    Then who exactly is supposed to be the check on the courts? Is that not precisely the domain of the legislative wing of govt? That’s like some basic civics shit.

      It’s bullshit, but he’s probably not wrong. The Legislature’s checks on the Judiciary are primarily:

      1. Funding
      2. Congress has the authority to create all courts below SCOTUS and provide for those courts’ jurisdiction
