I wouldn’t ask you to do my research for me, but do you have a starting point, like a search term, for some? I can only find articles like this one, “A Supreme Court Accountable to No One”, which details the difficulties reigning in SCOTUS judges.
Yeah, like I said in my other post about missing the point - I suspected but was hoping for something more legitimate since my knowledge is not nearly exhaustive. Once you start employing “alternatives” things can go downhill fast. Imagine the mess if the Jan 6th insurrection had actually been effective in some way for instance.
I know that, but if “might makes right” was suddenly a thing it would be a big mess. My point was we probably don’t want to be bringing assassination/violence into the discussion about checks and balances, even if it comes with a wink, because there are definitely folks who will consider it.
I guess. I understood what might have been said, but I was hoping it was something legitimate that I just didn’t know (which is a lot given I’m a) Canadian and b) not a lawyer/governmental expert). “Other mechanisms” tend to be messy, and once they’re on the table things can go to crap fast.
oh, there’s a few other mechanisms

They’re hinting, satirically I’m sure, at assassination.
