Congress can influence the judiciary by controlling court budgets, rewriting legislation that has been misinterpreted, and passing new laws to counteract court decisions. While it does not have the power to veto court decisions directly, its legislative authority plays a crucial role in shaping judicial interpretation. Additionally, Congress cannot mobilize lawyers for protests as a form of judicial influence. ;
