Step 2 seldom happens. Judges have an extreme amount of power.

Actually judges generally have very little power. For example, they can't enforce any decision they make, they can only make decisions.
In a functioning democracy the branches are balanced. In this case it looks like it took too long.
In Brazil a lower judge just illegally wired trap the president talking to an ex-president and released it to the media. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/17/release-tapped-...
