Which sounds rather similar to the authority the US Supreme Court has...
but then there is the problems that the supreme court is completely political... and they sit for life. and the only way to get rid of the supreme court is by a law which they have to approve of... they are kinda like a royal family with intrige and all save the heriditary part.
