@Migueldeicaza I’d love to know how checks and balances are handled for the SCOTUS. I haven’t heard of any way this can be done.

@Migueldeicaza yup. As a country we have been lacking checks and balances lately, some worst than others. In some cases there are processes to enact to handle corruption and, but in others there are not. And most recently there is also an effort to brush off corruption as ‘normal’. I personally also loathe ‘Citizens United’ because corporations are not people.
I truly feel helpless.
