explaining that the inherent power of the court is “the source of power to do things necessary to perform the judicial function for which the legislative branch has not provided, and, in rare instances, to act contrary to the dictates of the legislative branch” | “reparations” for delayed payment of federal public assistance benefits involved “substantial expenditures from public funds of the state” thereby requiring Eleventh Amendment protections | requirement of a filing fee, when applied to indigents seeking to appeal an adverse welfare decision, does not violate due process | ‘We look upon the doctrine of inherent judicial power as the source of power to do those things necessary to perform the judicial function for which the legislative branch has not provided, and, in rare instances, to act contrary to the dictates of the legislative branch.”
