In theory, any branch can ignore the other.

Well Andrew Jackson certainly ignored the USSC in the case of the Cherokee Indians being expelled from Georgia.

However Congress is hard to ignore if they decide to withhold money from the other branches.

Congress can not reduce the pay of judges but they do not have to supply funds to heat or cool court houses.
