I believe James Madison had a crazy idea or some such remedy for an out of control tyrannical rogue Judiciary unaccountable to the will of the People...hmmm, let me see.
Give me a Second, let me find a copy of the Constitution and see if I can find it.

Not quite like that, it seems.

Marbury V. Madison?

Read the following. amd discover why apparently the Supreme Court rightly will not hear the Texas case put before it>

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marbury_v._Madison

"Examining the section of the law Congress had passed that gave the Supreme Court jurisdiction over types of cases like Marbury's, Marshall found that it had expanded the definition of the Supreme Court's jurisdiction beyond what was originally set down in the U.S. Constitution.[8] Marshall then struck down that section of the law, announcing that American courts have the power to invalidate laws that they find to violate the Constitution.[9] Because this meant the Court had no jurisdiction over the case, it could not issue the writ that Marbury had requested."
There you have it. A bit tortuous, but unassailable.
