But other people who are constitutionalists believe that checks and balances and separation of powers implemented by elected representatives of the people who value those principles are still what the Founders established, not vigilantism.

Those checks and balances have been made abstruse and opaque by the very people elected to implement them as elected representatives. It is not "vigilantism" to unseat an embezzling corporate officer who continues to try to wield the authority he had when he was assumed to be doing his fiduciary duty.

I was respondng to a post that advocated the violent overthrow of the government and hanging judges. That’s vigilantism.
That’s the communist/fascist solution.
