SCOTUS: Public Domain? ... NAAAAH.
 
#6
Umm... I think the Legislature can impeach them, maybe, and they can pass laws overruling the precedents that the Judicial branch sets. Most of the checks on the Judicial branch seem to be about deciding who gets in. Other then that, they have to follow what the Constitution says (or what they interpret it to say), while the other branches can decide to change what the constitution says via amendments. That is to say, they cannot make the laws, they can only interpret and apply them.

Oh, and I think that they can revisit past cases, if they realize that they had made a mistake.
