A federal judge can intervene to say this is unconstitutional. The state courts might even rule it such first.

I don't mean to be rude, but don't you think that a situation where a judge says, "It's unconstitutional to feed people when I say you can't feed them!" is absolute gibberish, Constitutionally-speaking?

The legislature is intended to act as a restraint on out-of-control judges (and vice versa). The executive, not the judiciary, has the police power.

It's very disturbing that the other branches of the government would allow a single judge's whim to have this much impact for this long.

You mean a judge WILL intervene and rule it unconstitutional. We've come to the days where judges make laws and break laws. Judges have the authority to give court orders which may as well be the same as congressional law. Judge Dredd has ordered the execution of a woman and his judicial buddies will cover his back. The biggest mistake the framers of the Constitution made was giving life terms to judges and not giving the Congress authority to remove radical judges. Only a judge can remove another judge.
