The Legislative branch according to the US Constitution has the power of the purse over the Judicial branch. They determine the funding for the Judicial branch and can determine the working elements of the Judicial Branch.
The Legislative branch also has the power to confirm Judicial nominees to the Judicial Branch and the confirmation process provides a series of checks to confirm the soundness of the judicial appointee.
The Judicial branch, particularly the US Supreme Court, holds the power of "judicial review," which means they can evaluate legislation that is challenged in court to determine if the law is constitutional. If the Court decides the law violates constitutional provisions, it will be nullified, or overturned.

well. basically none they're each in charge of themselves judicial branch is in charge of saying if the laws are fair, legislative branch is in charge of making the laws and executive branch is in charge of enforcing the laws and they are all part's of the government who each have a responsibility so the government can't have total control
Over the last 200+ years, the judicial branch has increasingly presumed to be able to write legislation through judicial decision. This action, of course, lacks any lawful authority since all judicial decisions are merely legal opinions. The Constitution originally instructed the judiciary to decide conflicts based on the exact and original wording and intent of the laws, not to attempt to re-write them.
There are many powers the legislative branch holds over the judiciary. Some are as follows. The courts have the power to declare laws unconstitutional or just interpret them in ways Congress did not anticipate or want if the wording of the laws warrant it. Congress then has the power to change those laws to correct the parts the courts have interpreted laws contrary to Congress's initial expectation, thereby rendering the Court's decision inapplicable to future interpretations. If a subject matter is declared unconstitutional, Congress can propose an amendment to the Constitution to overcome the constitutional problem. Congress creates the judiciary as it sees fit. The Constitution creates the Supreme Court but does not set it up in working order. Congress can change the number of justices on the Supreme Court anytime it wants to, and has changed it several times. Congress sets salaries of judges, but may not reduce those salaries or fire certain types of judges without cause. Congress fixes the dates when the Supreme Court meets to hear cases. Congress has the power to create or not create courts. Congress has created the US District Court and the US Courts of Appeals directly below the Supreme Court. It has also created specialized courts such as the Bankruptcy Court, the Court of Federal Claims and other courts. Congress allocates the money to run the courts. By controlling the amount of money the courts get, Congress controls the size and operations of the judiciary. Congress has the power to expand or limit jurisdiction, within Constitutional limits. Congress also has impeachment powers over the judiciary in the same way it has over the President and other federal officeholders Congress may not fire certain types of judges or reduce their salaries while they hold office, but those judges may be impeached and removed for the same reasons that are stated as grounds for impeachment and removal of the president. The Constitution states that there shall be a Supreme Court, but leaves the details of actual operation to Congress. In this way the judiciary is not immune from Congressional oversight.
One power that the legislative branch holds over the executive branch is that for certain things to be done, the president needs to have a certain amount of votes in congress, and if they do not get that, some things are not able to get done.
No. Congress (the Legislative Branch) holds the power of the purse, meaning they create the budget and decide what to fund and what not to fund.
The United States Constitution set up a system of checks and balances whereby each branch can check the power of the other two branches while all three share in the policy and legislative making process on a farting daily basis. The major function of the legislative branch is to make laws. The major function of the judicial branch is to interpret the laws. The legislative branch takes into account the Constitution and the decisions of the federal courts when passing legislation. That is one of the reasons for the power of investigation that congress uses when creating new legislation. They hold hearings to determine, not only whether the proposed law is necessary, but whether it is constitutional. The Constitution also provides that the Senate approve appointments to the federal courts. In this way, they share in selecting appointees and determining the qualifications of those selected to the judiciary. However, the judicial branch retains independent powers, like judicial review, and judges, once approved, are independent of the other two branches, within the system of checks and balances. MrV
The Congress can overturn the judicial branch. If the Judiciary decides that a law is unconstitutional, the congress can vote to restore the constitutionality of a bill, or they can change the original law to make it valid once more.
The Executive branch gets to choose candidates for federal judgeships, including Supreme Court Justices. The President also has the power to pardon people convicted of federal offenses, Since the President controls the Department of Justice, he has some leeway in how laws are enforced.

The president must propose the declaration, but the legislative branch casts the final vote. This is because the house and senate ideally represent the American people.
The judiciary can hold the Executive branch to account for its actions; it is a system of 'checks and balances' that ensure no branch of government has too much power.
