>the Covenant was also crystal clear about a continuing line of Guardians, so I don't think that really addresses Hasan's question about badaa. <
The Will and Testament is clear about how future Guardians were to be chosen, but that document does not guarantee that there will always be a living Guardian.
The Will also doesn't guarantee there will always be a Universal House of Justice.
However, even if that institution ceased to exist, for some reason, the NSA's of the world could elect another one. Because of that, I think it's likely we will always have a Universal House of Justice, at least until the next Manifestation comes.
