At least the foundation of the Westminster system is recognizing Parliament's supremacy and allowing the legislature to overrule the judiciary whenever they wish, to the point that Canada's constitution even has a clause saying that provincial and federal assemblies can straight up ignore almost all of it if. Sorry Americans, but you only have yourself to blame for letting 9 unelected judges decide everything.
It's not even in the US constitution. They just started doing it and everyone went along with it. They have no enforcement power and afaik no legal authority to do what they're doing.
Unfortunately the most famous instance in which the federal gov ignored the SCOTUS (when Jackson supposedly said: "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.") was after the court made one of its rare good but unpopular decisions, by ruling that Georgia could not unilaterally seize Cherokee land, contributing to the American mythos of the court as a protector of rights and liberty against state tyranny.

I'm aware. Laws aren't real, they're just excuses that people with guns use to do whatever they want.
