4. this is probably a much better explanation of where we (and the SCOTUS)

sit on these matters.
Quite simply - there is no 'higher authority' with which to consult or appeal issues with the supremes. And - there's a certain amount of opinion that any effort to impose something of the sort - would perhaps be just as fraught with problems as the original (perceived) deficit.
