Since we're talking Constitutional Amendments, I propose the Mark Levin Amendment.

That like a Congressional veto override, Congress can set aside Supreme Court rulings with a two-thirds vote in both House and Senate.

But that still gives all the power to corrupt politicians in Washington. Why not also have an alternate method where 2/3rds of the state legislatures could pass resolutions to overturn a Supreme Court decision?

Not a good idea. Suppose Congress passes a law that says that you are not allowed to criticize Congress or the President in online blogs like FreeRepublic. The Supreme Court issues an opinion that says this is an unconstitutional violation of first amendment rights. What you're suggesting is that the Congress could then override that Supreme Court decision and the law would stand as passed.
