"But the attacks on the judiciary by the Schindler's supporters — including an attempted end-run by an activist Congress — made it clear that a minority of religious extremists have no respect for the law and no understanding of the separation of powers on which this government was founded."

Worth repeating.

And a goodly number of judges and justices don't understand that separation of powers is not total, and it's just one part of the system of checks and balances which this government was founded upon. Judges are not gods, neither are legislatures or executives. Neither is the judicial branch free of the constraints of the Constitution which created it.
