I'm in favor of this: it's a final check against the executive and legislative branches, and sidesteps the whole "hope the SC sees it our way" question. But then, we would see massive advertising by corps on favored bills.
so, we can kidnap/kill foreign nationals, but not foreign dignitaries? The point is that no matter how heinous, most politicians will cover for each other (to save their own sorry butts). If he's so terrible - off him and move on - but no, politicians fear that it would lead to backlash, so they only kill people if there's no one around that will avenge them.
