It would be interesting to see the Executive Branch stand up and make sure that laws were executed properly. This is part of Checks and Balances. Are judges over-stepping? Well, the president ought to step in and say "Show me the piece of legislation that allows you to do that. If you cannot, then your action is null and void."
It's basically a variation on Andrew Jackson saying, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it." Without the executive branch, nothing gets enforced.
