What is a name of an executive power that checks the judicial Branch?

The primary duty of the executive branch in both the Federal and State governments is to nominate people that must be approved by the legislative branch for appointments to the Bench.

The executive branch may, based on solid information, conduct an investigation on a judge who may have violated any given law. It must be solid & reliable information and NOT connected to the judges' decisions or what could be "political" decisions.

Further to this point, Judges can only be impeached and then tried by a legislative body. If convicted, then a prosecutor can bring the case to a Grand Jury for further legal action.

What is the meaning of the phrase plaintiff's interstate?

I think you managed to extract only part of the complete phrase. I suspect there is another word: commerce. There are cases that involve interstate commerce. I found a Supreme Court case entitled:

Corn Products Refining Co. v. Eddy, 249 U.S. 427

The second paragraph contains the phrase:

. . . defendants were interfering with plaintiff's interstate commerce and with its lawful business in the state of Kansas, thereby threatening plaintiff with great and irreparable damage . . .

You can read the full case at the related link.

Interstate commerce is commercial trade that takes place between states and over state lines and is regulated by federal law and therefore under federal jurisdiction when there is a lawsuit filed or violation of law.
