Yeah but the supreme court can be overruled by a constitutional amendment.

Correct, but as you yourself mentioned - the chances of getting that sort of amendment through the process is zero, particularly in the extremely divisive environment of today's politics. Hell, *anything* controversial in the slightest ain't happening.

The only other option would be a Constitutional Convention, and I think nobody wants to see that happen.

P.S. Congratulations, Tibs - a lot of Americans don't know those details of checks and balances. You been studying for the citizenship exam?
