Answer 2

Based on the system of government we have, Congress has no authority over the Judicial branch; through the system of checks and balances, each branch--executive, legislative and judicial--has a method of keeping each other in balance. Congress can enact laws that are unconstitutional; when a legal case is brought before the court, the court can issue an injunction, or stop the law altogether. Ultimately it can wind up in the Supreme Court, whose word is law, period.

Answer 3

They can't overturn a decision, only a higher court can do that. Bur since you specified federal court decisions, they can make a new law that would makes that would invalidate the basis of the courts decision. That still might not work though, since laws can be challenged all the way up to the Supreme Court and if the law is deemed unconstitutional, it will be invalidated there.. The separation of power really does work.

Answer 4

According to the constitution, polotical process shall have no bearing or say nor control over the federal judicial system.

Considering the repubs control the congress, it appears they will learn several things after fall elections.

It has taken them 4 years to figure out they have backed a loser, and now is too little, too late, as elections draw near.
