It’s pretty clear that the Judicial System is currently the most corrupt government institution in the US. Judges and lawyers have become ideologically aligned with the left and are openly defiant of the Constitution and any laws that get in the way of their political ideology and activism. This isn’t limited to blue states, as every state including Texas is filled with leftist activists who are lawyers, DAs, and judges, etc. The corruption is dire and every facet of the Judicial system has been ideologically captured by the left. They are creating laws out of thin air through rulings in favor of leftist activism and the right just accepts it. I know this isn’t a new phenomenon, but the blatant disregard and arrogance the Judicial Branch displays is worse than ever. The state of Judicial Power makes it seem that the Founding Fathers failed to understand how the Justice System could be so systemically molded into a tool for enforcing authoritarianism. I do wonder if the Founding Fathers intended for the citizenry to be the real check and balance against the Judicial System through either non-compliance or direct resistance to tyranny of the courts?

Modern, not really. Judicial Review was established by the court itself in 1803. If one reviews the text of the Constitution one will not find that ability granted to it.
As far as the ultimate check to federal oversight it's the fourth branch of the government, that they don't teach you about. The states themselves
Until the Feds cucked the states with the power of the Federal Reserve.
States still have nullification, they can refuse federal money, and they can call for a convention of states to create or nullify federal law. States could fight back if they wished but last time they tried it destroyed an entire region and a million deaths.
Yeah, good luck with that
True, but then again the line of battle was literally north vs. south. Now it's all over the place, even within the same state.
Yeah a state would have to make a lot of changes to survive without any federal money. You aren't wrong.
It happens though. States will occasionally not take money for certain programs they don't want to enforce.
If another conflict erupts, it’ll be states versus cities. It won’t go well for the cities, but that’s when foreign interference will arrive. It will get weird.
