"As originally set up under the Constitution, judges had little real power..."

And, there, I think, is the heart of the problem with our American Republic. It is the Judiciary that has slowly but inexorably assumed more and more power, in direct violation of the Constitution's balance of power.

We are now, it seems, a Judicial Oligarchy...

We don't need a Constitutional amendment to fix that problem.

Congress already has the power to realign the lower courts, abolish some, limit the jurisdiction of others, etc.

They won't do it, but they have the power.
