Robert Bork advanced a similar proposal in Slouching Towards Gomorrah. The basic idea is the final say about social and economic policy should rest with the elected representatives of the people, not with unelected judges. Its not like the American people are terribly extreme. The mere threat Congress can override the court when its wrong should push judges into seeking a consensus for important decisions instead of imposing one upon based on the whim of one man or in the case of the U.S Supreme Court, by a one vote margin.
