Any law or executive action could, however, come under the purview of the Supreme Court, at least theoretically, and be struck down as unconstitutional. This position as the final arbiter and interpreter of the highest body of law in the land has led some to claim that the federal government is actually poorly balanced, with the judicial branch -- specifically the Supreme Court -- holding far more power over the executive and legislative branches of the federal government than these branches do over the Court (Saikowski 1987)
