Answer to Question 2

Legislature has direct control over the court due to constitutional authorization and indirect control by confirming judicial appointees and setting the judiciary's budget and appropriating money for the judicial branch.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
