So I am trying to understand who holds the slashing power in the Polkadot system.

[1] What bundle of people get to decide to slash a nominator and how much.

[2] How do these bundle of people come into power and who are they what quora is needed

[3] or is it all done by an on-chain contract?

IF [1] and/or [2], then, what stops a court order forcing them to slash all stakes at 100%?

(I add the people could be jurisdictionally diverse, but still doable if the number in enough co-operating jurisdictions are high enough).
