Content: In the federal system, Congress could do away entirely with the Courts of Appeal. There are certain matters listed in the US Costitution that are granted to the US Supreme Court under whit is called its “Original Jurisdiction.” Almost all other matters come to the Supreme Court only if allowed by statute. Congress can control the types of matters that the Supreme Court may hear or, alternatively, must hear. The legislature also checks the court system by the power to create or eliminate judgeships. The number of judges on the Supreme Court is not fixed by the Costitution. Congress can add or reduce the number of Supreme Court or inferior court justices. The budget for the court system is also not fixed by the Costitution and the budget controls the ability of the judicial system to handle a volume of cases. Michael Norton

The legislative branch is the branch to create laws, the judicial branch interprets the laws, and the executive branch enforces the laws. In the broken world we live in the judicial activist judges create laws.
