Considereing that the structure of our government is one of “balance of power” and “three coequal branches of government”, the bigger question is, who put the judiciary at the top of the food chain? Screw the men in black.
If they are co-equal, then two of the three ought to be able to over-rule the third.
Quick question “three coequal branches of government” do you believe this was the intent or where do you find it? I think your “balance of power” is a bit more accurate of a statement because the powers of each branch are defined, but not equal.
I know its a common statement “three coequal branches of government” and I have used it myself, but in reality it is not so, for it really matters on what the subject is IE are we making Law then Congress has all the power and the Judiciary can at best say its Unconstitutional and the Executive can just not enforce. So Check on the power, but not equal.
The branches are not "coequal", the Legislative Branch has the most power, but it is distributed among 535 legislators, which makes it difficult to bring that power to bear on the other branches.
With sufficient motivation, the Legislative Branch can remove anyone from office within the other 2 branches.
