Making sure the Judicial Branch is protected from political forces is a terrific idea, the very foundation of our form of government.

Well, from Article III the congress has lots of power it is too frightened to use against our runaway courts.

The power to impeach Justices, the power to dissolve inferior [read federal] courts, the power to deny non original-jurisdiction cases from being heard in the Supreme Court... defunding them.
