Nowhere does the Constitution say anything about an “independent judiciary”. In fact it specifically gives Congress the authority to regulate it’s jurisdiction.

Eureka! Maybe there’s hope! Due to the respect commanded by the early Supreme Court justices, the power of the supreme court expanded during the early 1800’s. So for example, people simply accepted the practice of the court under John Marshall reviewing the constitutionality of laws. If they can find some backbone, the conservatives in Congress should be able to force the activist bozos on the court to act with some restraint.
