The judiciary can be checked by self-imposed limits, presidential appointments, executive enforcement, congressional powers, and federalism. However, the judiciary is still the most powerful branch of government.

None, once they become justices -- the senate confirms you as a justice. The only "checks" they have is themselves and the other justices. Some purests would say the Constitution -- but the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution. It is actually the best branch of government (in my opinion). You are appointed for life and no one can make you leave. In theory, the Judiciary only acts at the request of the Executive Branch or The People when someone is charged with a crime and they decide if the law in question is Constitutional or not. The ultimate check on the Judiciary is the Legislature's ability, with approval of 3/4 of the states, to ammend the Constitution. Unfortunately, this option has seldom been applied.

The judicial branch has checks on it because the judicial branch does not create laws in the USA, the legislative branch does.
