The judicial branch checks the powers of Congress - in theory - by judicial review of laws passed by Congress. These reviews may originate from the Executive Branch, as a "reference" request to test impending or existing laws, or they may arise from litigation brought by citizens against the governing powers, as a "constitutional challenge" against some action or sanction imposed upon a person.

This "check" is seriously flawed by the power of the president to appoint justices to the Supreme Court who are proven "friends" to himself or his political court. George W. Bush was very successful at "loading" the Bench with rightist evangelical conservatives sympathetic to his own views and biases.
