Judicial independence will have to be reconsidered in the light of increasing judicial tyranny not just in the United States, but throughout the rest of the common law world.

Now would be a good time to expand the legislative power to override court decisions and allow judges to be more easily removed for abuse of office--in other words, not just for criminal or civil malfeasance, but also for decisions which subvert the underpinnings of free society.

Maybe the legislature could just sort of defund the court on the next appropriations bill?

It is also time to end lifetime tenure for federal judges.
