They should also pass a law that any decision of the Supreme Court in regard to the constitutionality of any law passed by the congress or the states shall be overturned by a 2/3 majority in the house and senate with approval of the President.

uh...aren't you pretty much describing the Amendment process already established by the Constitution?

The amendment process requires the approval of 3/4 of the states. Technically (and I believe constitutionally) you would not even need a 2/3 majority to overturn a decision of the Supreme Court, but I used the 2/3 majority as a benchmark to give a large measure of deference to the decisions of the Court. Nevertheless I believe congress has a right and an obligation to act as a check and balance against an overreaching judicial system.

No, that alone is not the amendment process.

That also requires the agreement of 75% of the states.

A 2/3 majority is required in both houses to overturn a presidential veto...maybe that's what you were thinking of.
