04/07/2005 | Wrong. It was actually assumed the congress would impeach jurists who overstepped their authority. Hamilton alludes to this when refuting Robert Yates Anti-Federalist #11 who had argued the lack of checks on the judiciary would bring the feelings [of power] home to the people through the medium of judicial power because the government is a complete system, not only for making laws, but for executing laws. And the courts of law, which will be constituted by it, are not only to decide upon the Constitution and the laws made in pursuance of it, but by the officers subordinate to them to execute all their decisions. Hamilton dismissed this by stating impeachment was a proper check on the judiciary.
