The second major check is that if the Supreme Court interprets a law as unconstitutional, the Congress can propose a Constitutional Amendment that would go against the Supreme Court's ruling (this was the case with the 14th Amendment, which was designed to overturn the Dred Scott Case). Finally, the House of Representatives can impeach, and the Senate can subsequently remove from office, a Supreme Court Justice if found guilty of "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
