The role of the judicial branch is to protect the minority. It is to ensure that those lacking a voice in the government can continue on without their rights being trampled on by those with power. When there is a unified government, whether that be on the left or the right, those who side with the ones in power will always have problems with the judiciary because it is their role to make sure the other two branches cannot run rampant. Without the judiciary to act in this way, tyranny can rule the day. When the judiciary is sycophantic to the other two branches or is removed, then democracy will fall.
It is the third, co-equal branch of our government. That is the way it was set up and the way it is intended to act.
