Supreme court justices are appointed for life. When it comes to laws in the US, you can't get much higher than that. Not sure what "popularity" has to do with this. Comparing Googles guidelines to "breaking the laws" that are/were put in place by duly elected or appointed government agencies is a poor comparison.

Broad assumption Peter.

Not sure how you can say it's working very well, since neither you, nor I, nor Google have a clue as to how many "paid" links there are on the web. If Google knew how many there were, there'd be no issue. That's the problem and why their approach is so flawed.
