It comes up in descriptions of the three branches. The challenges come from Brutus, and in #11 he takes on the Judiciary, pointing out there are no safeguards against the courts. That comes up in a few weeks.

That Congress does not defend their just powers against an encroaching court is not the fault of the Constitution.

Our Framers intended impeachment and the “Exceptions and under such Regulations” clauses to provide ample checks.

Fault does not rest with the Constitution when, for instance, the anti-constitutionalists Kagan and Sotomayor were permitted to turn their Senate hearings into farcical embarrassments.
