Well, except the trial is begun by a member of the executive, on the basis of laws passed by the legislature. The judiciary is merely the forum in which those two branches conduct their policy when enforcing criminal laws, or ones with civil implications. The judiciary is independent only in a certain limited way - it is not controlled by the others directly. But the legislature makes the laws, and the executive brings the cases. If they bring cases the court doesn't like, on laws the court doesn't like, there's generally nothing the court can do about it.

Besides, Boortz here is celebrating the independence of the judiciary - the ability of judicial power to thwart the policy and practical goals of the executive and legislative branches. I really don't see what you're objecting to here.
