The Presidency hasn't been checked since Nixon, and only then because his conducts was so egregious.

The Courts only have as much power as Congress allows. If they don't want lifetime judges, they can change it. They can change the composition of the courts, what the courts are allowed to hear, pretty much anything except that SCOTUS has to exist and that it has original jurisdiction in two types of cases. The Courts are still exceptionally weak.
